I came across these guys while hiking in Glacier National Park. It was pretty amazing how friendly these guys were, you could pretty much walk right up to them. Taken with 50D + 70-200L IS.

This is pretty much exactly what I had in my head when I wanted to photograph a mountain goat, he looks so zen:

Terrific shots. Just for variety, I prefer #1 -- it really screams "MOUNTAIN goat".

Great shots. I like the composition in 1. What trail were you on when you shot these?

Thanks for the comments guys! I was hiking to hidden lake in Glacier when I came across these guys. There were a bunch of baby goats around as well, they were awesome.
