Title: Goat Rocks (and their namesake residents)
Post by: yakimanoob on September 05, 2017, 12:17:07 PM: Hey folks,

Finally made it to backpacking in the Goat Rocks after living in WA for 2.5 years. We camped near Cispus Pass and were chaperoned by the resident billy. We watched him all evening and went to sleep with him bedded about 350yds away, eyes on us the whole time. I even stalked to about 25 yards from him to get a photo, spooked him a bit when my foothold gave out, and he trotted about 40 yards before bedding down to watch me descend back to the campsite.

It was a beautiful area and we had a blast!

I'd totally take that billy if I had a tag. But I'm not sure I'd want to take him in view of all the PCT hikers :)

Thanks for sharing.
