Crossing paths with wildlife during a hike isn't something that happens to most people. One Idaho individual recently shared stunning images of a mountain goat while on a favorite hike.

There's one point in the video where the animal almost poses on some rocks with an absolutely stunning backdrop.

Hiking is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in nature. Whether you enjoy doing it alone or with a group, it's one of those activities that gives a person a sense of accomplishment and is good for the soul. I don't hike nearly as much as I did in my younger years. Kayaking has become an outdoor activity I find myself doing more frequently than any other.

The first time I saw a bear in the wild I couldn't believe it. There's something very magical about having the opportunity to see wildlife in their own environment instead of wandering through a neighborhood. I was lucky enough that day to get a picture from about 80 yards away, and the bear acted completely unphased by my presence.

I recently came across a YouTube short video posted recently by a hiker in Idaho that shows multiple mountain goats enjoying the view from way above. Unfortunately, the video's description doesn't give the location of the impressive footage, but Idahoans are very good at not divulging where their favorite places are in the mountains for fear of too many people finding out.
