The Mountain Goat Experience

Several of the students had the opportunity to see Mountain Goat but none quite as closely as Jordan, Jesse and Marcien.  Have a look at these images.  Believe it or not, Jesse was headbutted by this mountain goat. (Just a little tap but it sure scared him)


This photo is not taken with a zoom lens!

Here are the steps to the top of Sulphur Mountain.

Can you believe that it is May 19th?  SNOW!

Marcien and Jesse getting a close-up view!

Jordan isn't taking any chances.  Jesse is almost touching him now.

Getting Closer!

We have contact!!!

The goat is not afraid of people.

Keep watching!

Some more!

10 more seconds!

It happens 2 seconds after this picture.  The goat puts it's head down and butts Jesse in the shoulder and the leg.  It happened really quickly and it didn't hurt him at all.

Notice the space the boys have given the goat and how the goat has backed off.  The boys are smiling and pretty unafraid!

Jesse is giving him a little more space now as he comes back for more.  Can you guess what the goat is so determined to go after on this cement pillar?
