Elisa and I joined some folks from church for a nice Saturday hike to Noble Nob. It was about, what, five or six miles total, there and back. Absolutely wonderful weather and views of Mt. Rainier.

The really fun part was just about near the end. Randy in our group had already pulled far ahead, and I was ahead of Elisa and the remaining two hikes. I look ahead and see the fast moving, almost silenty group of white mountain goats running straight down the hill to a small valley. There were two small ones with the group.

It was the first time I've actually seen wildlife like that while out hiking. It was great. We watched them for a while until their meandered over the next hill and disappeared.

It was great!
