The Goat Rocks Wilderness is located within the Wenatchee National Forest. It is a unique area characterized by high alpine terrain and fantastic scenic views. This 105,633-acre Wilderness is centered around an ancient volcanic cone which dominated the area some two million years ago. Several glaciers originated off these volcanically created rugged peaks, the highest of which is Mt. Curtis Gilbert at 8,184 feet elevation. This geological cluster of rocks and peaks have become known as Goat Rocks because of the bands of mountain goats which live there.

Mt. Rainier National Park is located northwest of Goat Rocks Wilderness. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail runs down the crest of the Goat Rocks Wilderness, and the highest point on this trail in Washington State is at Old Snowy Mountain.
