Glacier National Park

A photo collection by Chris Peterson, at Big Picture. Click to enlarge. Hard to believe this is real.

Great photos, and not a one of mountain goats. Mind you, I love mountain goats, but they are the photo whores of Glacier. That's because in the summer, the females get low in sodium, and the best source is to lick passing sweaty hikers...

That's wonderful.

I have a new goal in life; I want to hike in Glacier and get licked by a mountain goat.

They are naturally fearless because no predators can chase them where they can go. They famously hang around Gunsight Pass in large quantities. The males like to play "king of the hill" amongst themselves.

A much faded and blurry photo of my aunt being licked at:
