Title: Re: Goat Hill Portage Post by Old Salt on Apr 4th, 2016 at 12:03pm
That's the one. What you may not have heard is the story of how it was named. There is a small flock of goats that roam the alpine meadows on either side of the port. They were left there to provide milk for the hungry, thirsty Voyaguers. They could also be utilized to carry the immense loads up the near vertical cliffs and back down the other side. If you are fortunate, you will see them and make use of these well-trained beasts of burden. If you are going early in the year, you will likely see snow in the higher elevations. This is the site of the last known glacier in Q.
