Title: Northe Lake Chelan mountain goat tag. Where do i go?
Post by: mountaingoaty on August 11, 2013, 11:03:40 AM: My father and I put in as partners for the mountain goat and both drew our third choice, North Lake Chelan unit. We have done a little scouting which is pretty much a lot of steep hiking in the heat. I was hoping some one could point us in the right direction. We have been around Uno peak, seems good but so far no goats. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
