Peak 9740 is the first peak you encounter when driving west from Twin Peaks Saddle on Sleeping Deer Mountain Road. The road crosses a saddle between it and Peak 9598. Follow the ridge north to the summit. This Class 2 walk is 0.75 miles one way with 500 feet of elevation gain. USGS White Goat Mountain
