Goat Mountain is a 64500NaN0 mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains, in Anchorage Municipality in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated in Chugach National Forest at the head of Glacier Creek Valley, 300NaN0 east-southeast of downtown Anchorage, and 80NaN0 north-northeast of the Alyeska Resort and Girdwood area. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1932.[3] On August 4, 2019, a small airplane crashed on the mountain claiming all four lives on board.[4]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Goat Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[5] Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −20 °F. This climate supports the massive Eagle Glacier on the east aspect of the peak, the Milk Glacier on the western slope, and the Raven Glacier to the northwest.
