In light of the recent repugnant poaching of two goats on Quandary, let's post our favorite photos of mountain goats.
My favorite goat encounter was while descending Pyramid Peak, my finishing peak. I got a congratulatory nod.

Re: Your Favorite Mountain Goat Photos
Such cool shots so far! This is one of my favorite photos that i've ever taken, from a hike on Mt. Massive in 2013.
