Gove Peak is a scrambling peak located in the NW corner of Mt Rainier National Park. It has a 4 mile approach (3 miles on the old Carbon River Road and 1 mile on the Green Lake trail) followed by a 1.5 mile off trail climb through forest to the summit. On a clear day there are nice views of Mt Rainier and the Carbon River Valley from the summit. The major challenge of this scramble is route finding skills.
