Goat Mountain Hiking at Grouse Mountain, BC

We did the Grind to Goat yesterday. After about 30 minutes on the trail toward Goat Mountain we were deep in snow. You could hear the creek beneath us so we were worried of avalanche. 45 minutes into the hike there was a posted sign of trail closure for "hazardous conditions no access". At that point we turned around. Great views up to this point! We would love to do this hike again, but we will give it at least a month to allow the snow to melt.

Is this hike doable in may? I'm wondering if this would be doable with light hiking crampons.

I went to goat Mountain a week ago after doing the grouse grind. It was very fun, and the views were spectacular.

Hiked this on Sunday. Still lots of snow, the trail was not officially open past Dam mountain, but there was plenty of people hiking it anyway. I would advise bringing hiking sticks and good hiking boots if you do decide to hike this before the snow melts.

Does anyone know if the trail is clear enough of snow yet? I'm thinking of going up there on Sunday.

I recently hiked Goat Mountain, a very nice hike with lots of up and down and even a rope. It was a beautiful clear day so the view was amazing. Especially the view towards the North was different. If you want to spend a day on top of Grouse Mountain this is definitely something to add.
