Nice snap! I just started a Mission for Glacier National Park, I'd love for you to join it and share your wonderful photos.

Thanks Yasser! I got pretty close to a few of them...they love urine for the salt, so they came within a few steps more than once.

Great photos Chris! I was just in Glacier a few weeks ago. Caught a couple mountain goats on my hike to Iceberg Lake. They were up high though.

These two were seen while backpacking 75 miles across Glacier NP. They were part of a much bigger group. Very cute, but as a group very annoying...haha....they kept trying to eat everything and were constantly outside the tent all night.
