The closest I have been to mountain goats is a hundred or so metres, but that distance was measured vertically. So, I marvel at Doug Thorburn’s encounter on Saturday. He wrote:
I was treated to a display of extrovert Mt goats today. … I had heard that the goats in this area were becoming habituated to the hikers moving through, but was not prepared for the enthusiasm of their antics!
Here is a handful of Doug’s pictures.
