Today I saw my first mountain goat in the Selkirk Mountains. I knew that a few mountain goats lived in the Selkirk Mountains and I’ve been wanting to see one for several years. I just had to be in the right place at the right time.

The billy goat’s summer coat is significantly thinner than its winter coat. However, this goat was still seeking the shade in the almost 90 degree temperatures.

Happy Hiking!
