Do you ever feel like your hiking trip could be made all that better if you just had the right hiking companion by your side? Us too! As beautiful as the view can be, what does it all mean if you can't share it with the right person… Or in this case, the right goat? This woman was hiking in the North Cascades in Washington state when she was greeted by this sweet big guy in front of what might be the most gorgeous view we've ever seen. In the video, she writes, "I was out hiking and this mountain goat appeared out of nowhere." It almost looks like an edit, but later we'll explain how this woman was able to get such high-quality shots. For now, let's take a look at this amazing video.
Before diving into how cute and almost human-like this goat is looked we should include what reneeroaming put in the caption of her video.
Always stay a safe distance from wild animals and never feed them. This mountain goat kept coming down the trail near us but we would move off the path so he could safely pass. He was just being curious and not showing signs of aggression. These close up videos are significantly zoomed in, fyi.

He was looking for some pee to lick 😅 Seriously though, mountain goats will travel miles to find salt to supplement their diet, including smelling out all the spots humans have gone to the bathroom outdoors 👀

This seems like a valuable disclaimer and useful information to any people hoping to spot mountain goats during their outdoor adventures. Boy is that one magnificent-looking fella though.
The ultimate hiking companion 🐐
I wonder if he knows he lives in the most beautiful place in the world? 🤍
Ok this footage first of all is so beautiful and that goat omg framed against the mountains and wildflowers - heaven. I didn’t know that about them!
It’s hard to be intimidated when he looks so cute and fluffy! 😂 Like I just want to be friends 🥺
They look so different than the European mountain goats 😮
