Last month we wrote about Mountain Goats being a must see in Glacier National Park. During a recent trip to the park we stopped at the Goat Lick Overlook along highway 2 south of the park between Devil Creek Forest Service site (east) and Walton/Essex Railway Depot (west) and were rewarded with a number of goats passing through the area. The setting is quite stunning as cliffs frame the Flathead River below creating some tense moments as goats jostle each other for prime mineral licks on the cliff face.

Binoculars are recommended as the goats are not as close as they are at Logan Pass.
