The picture of the three goats was taken on 11/22/2014. I was hiking all day in Gates of the Mountains and didn't see anything, but then when driving back towards Nelson, just after the Refrigerator Canyon trailhead, I spotted four goats on a cliff on the right. (There was another smaller goat not in the picture)

I was first person on the trail that morning. I came up to the top of First Burroughs Mountain and a herd of 19 were there right on the trail. I spent about 15 minutes with them about 50 feet away. It was a remarkable day. Mount Rainier National Park, Elevation ~ 2150 meters (~7000 feet) DSCN5003
