Access:

Snowgrass Flat Trail starts out in heavy forest cover, crosses Goat Creek near the 2-mile mark and hits the Flat at 4 miles. The Pacific Crest Trail Passes through here. To climb Ives Peak and Old Snowy Mountain, just scramble up from the PCT. Expect snowfields into August but tame routes can usually be found to the summits. After these, drop down to the trail that goes over to Goat Lake. It is a good distance away but a very scenic hike. Enjoy the lake then traverse around to the south ridge of Hawkeye Point where you will find a climbers trail up to the summit. Return back to the car by taking the Goat Ridge Trail.
