Those are some pretty awesome pictures, I will definitely have to get in there sometime to hang out with the mountain goats.  As a lot of you probably know from my various posts, mountain goats are my favorite animals, so I love seeing any pictures of them!  Thanks for posting!

What camera/lens are you using?  Great clarity and quality of pictures!

What a wonderful series of images, Javman!  That goat on the waterfall is a tremendous opportunity.  I'm always looking for a photo opportunity that is different from the usual, and that certainly is!  I've wanted to get up there for a couple years now, but having to choose your dates several months ahead of time is something that just hasn't worked out for me.  Maybe next year.

You can go off trail and hike to a few other lakes in the area and camp...  Not sure on the rules with that?  It is a long hike in there to the upper enchantments.  I use to hike in there for the "golden" opportunities with my pack rod.   :P

The rangers require permits to camp in the Enchantments during the summer months which I believe is something like June 15th - October 15th. After October 15th then you do not need the permits to camp in the Enchantments and the larch trees turn gold. The second week of October is probably a good time from a photographer's point of view. Traveling to and from anywhere off trail is acceptable at any time.

Most of the time I have traveled just for a day to climb of Prusik Peak (7 times).

The goats in the Enchantments and for that matter Robin Lakes areas are like pets. If you want to take picks of them its easy. Just take a piss and they will practically run you over looking to lick the salt. We used to trick them by taking our water bottles filled with water and act like we were peeing. They would come running.

It would be kind of odd to sit there and pee with your rifle in hand ready to go when they come up...  Also, would this be considered baiting?   :dunno:

Rifle? Ha! It wouldn't even be a challenge to hunt these guys with a primitive spear that you sharpened yourself.  Seriously.

Great job on the photos. I was there this time last year and sometimes still dream about the place.  Most beautiful backpacking trip I've ever been on.
