View from upper ridge to the southwest, including several small frozen lakes in the basin.

Preparing to descend from the upper ridge at ~9300 feet. Goat lake (not visible in this shot) sits about 1100 feet below us.

The initial drop over the ridge was steep and slippery

Stephen failing to gracefully descend the initial slope.

Stephen heading down over the ridge into the Goat Lake basin.

Goat Falls, looking down from the top. Only the first ~150 vertical feet are viewable here.

Scenic shot about 2 miles from the trailhead

Deformed tree we found near the trail.
