History
This mountain is called Skitnu Dghelaya, meaning Brush River Mountain, in the Denaʼina language. The Mount Goode name was officially adopted March 5, 1924, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to commemorate Richard Urquhart Goode (1858-1903), geographer for the United States Geological Survey, in charge of the Pacific Division, Topographic Branch, at the time when work in the Alaska area was first conducted. The first ascent of the peak was made in April 1966 by John Vincent Hoeman and Helmut Tschaffert.

Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Knik Glacier which surrounds the mountain.
