This peak is not in the book.
Goat Creek Peak is located above a drainage named Goat Creek. More specifically, this Goat Creek flows west off a high ridge known as the Log Mountain/Deadwood Divide (see Page 117 of the book). Even more to the point, the peak is located on the section of the divide bordering the East Side of the South Fork Salmon River between Warm Lake and the junction of the South Fork and the East Fork South Fork Salmon River. Goat Creek Peak sits on the Divide’s crest roughly 2.0 miles SSW of Log Mountain. USGS Log Mountain

This summit is somewhat isolated from roads and trails. Ascending the peak from the South Fork demands over 5,000 feet of elevation gain. Climbing the peak from the Log Mountain area is the shortest access but requires a lot of cross-country travel. John Platt and John Fadgen climbed the peak on April 15, 2017 from the South Fork. Their trip reports are linked below.
