I Hunted Goats up there in 87, spent allot of time scouting before season from the suiattle side over to the cascade side and all the way up to the Glaciers, Beautiful and very rugged Country be prepared. If you can find Old Maps they could help, most of the Old Trails aren't on Maps I found them while heading across country. Also I saw some really nice Bears If it's open make sure you have a Tag. No BS I saw 7 footers, one up by Bench Lake the other up the South Fork of the Cascade then up Milt Creek above Timberline, that was along time ago but I don't think they get botherd much, seems to be allot of Chocolates, Most of the Goats I saw were not to far up the South Fork Trail and up the middle fork by the Glacier, I Hunted all season to find a Billy bigger than the on I got in 76 the second to the last Day of the Season I Shot a Nine incher, not a Monster but I was more than Happy with it. I earned It. On a side note coming out of Downey Creek to the Suiattle River I ran into some Kids on the Trail one Day and they had a hole Stringer full of 18 to 24 inch Dollie Varden (or Bull Trout I don't know) It was somewhere around the 1st week of September, I always thought it might be fun to Hike up and Fly Fish for them.
