Randy,

You lucky dog! In over 12 years of traveling to Yellowstone (sometimes multiple times each year), I have NEVER seen a mountain goat. Sheep by the score, but no goats. Can you tell me about where you saw this guy?

Thanks
James

Hi Jim,

I believe he was just past the gibbon meadows on the way to Madison. The Gibbon river is on the right side of the road before you hit the falls, the goat was on the cliffs there. We've been here for 6 nights and haven't seen any bear, moose, or big horns. I guess you have to be in the right place at the right time. Tomorrow we're off to Glacier for 3 nights. Hope the weather holds out!
