Mountain Goat Klahhane Ridge Olympic National Park Wallpaper

This mountain goat Olympic National Park photograph from Klahhane Ridge is a study in supreme self-possession — the animal standing at the edge of a rocky summit against a flawless Olympic Peninsula sky, looking out at its domain with the calm authority of something that has never once questioned whether it belongs there. Mountain goats are extraordinary climbers, their cloven hooves engineered with hard outer edges for grip and soft inner pads for traction on rock faces that would stop most other animals cold. Olympic National Park rises from sea level to over 7,900 feet, and Klahhane Ridge — perched above the Strait of Juan de Fuca at over 5,000 feet — is exactly the kind of terrain that suits this animal perfectly.
