Goat Mountain

Goat Mountain is a 4,370-foot summit in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains, about 38 miles east-northeast of Cordova, overlooking the Copper River corridor and visible from the Copper River Highway at Miles Glacier Bridge. Though not especially high, it rises dramatically about 4,300 feet above Miles Lake in less than three miles. Its surrounding landscape is shaped by a cold, wet subpolar oceanic climate that helps sustain nearby icefields and glaciers, including Childs, Miles, and McPherson Glaciers. A survey crew working on the Copper River and Northwestern Railway named it in 1910, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names later officially adopted the name.
