Mountain Goats on Mt Ellinor - Olympic mountains

[GeoWashInn]

Just don't get too close. Unfortunately someone got gored this fall when a goat attacked him. BTW, come stay with us and we'll help you plan your day trips into this amazing million acre park. We're near Port Angeles along the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

@GeoWashInn The goats approached us at the summit. Luckily we carry firearms.

Goats, just like any other animal, sense fear and attack those who fear. We had no fear.

are you using a handheld video camera?

goats always look like there bout 5 steps ahead of humans

[Sephiroth21682]

weird, it kind of reminds me of Norse mythological gods :P ... anyhow, they seem to be spying on you. I bet tourists feed them a lot of the time.

@Sephiroth21682 lol, they actually were stalking us, they were following us up to the summit for about an hour.

I'm sure tourists do feed them allot, but not up this mountain, not many tourists are in this particular area is the difficulty level is high for this hike, plus it requires a forest pass to get to the base.

That is an awesome video...was there about a week ago...saw some fur from the goars stuck in a rock but didn't get to see the goats

I used to hike extensively in the Olympic Mountains with my scout troop, my family and also on solo hikes about 30 -40 years ago. One time, near Mt. Olympus, my older brother awoke (about 5 a.m.) to find one of these kind of mountain goats licking his face (I guess the goat thought he was a human "salt lick"!).

[blackfairy28]

[shadowskank]

lmao the goats are just like ugh,.,,these humans!

[rubiconxj]

They actually came to us, we were relaxing at the summit for just over an hour until we started to hearing weird noises, I poked my head over the edge and sure enough, goats. even though the goats had acknowledged that we were there, they still proceeded our direction, passing by.
