Goat lick at glacier national park

Description:Other animals like elk and black bears have also been known to visit the lick. Watch for threatening horn swipes and rushes. Spotting these animals can sometimes be difficult and frustrating experience but Goat Lick, located just two miles east of the Walton Ranger station, and a short drive off of the Going-to-the-Sun road provides visitors with the perfect opportunity to take in all the wildlife the park has to offer. Here, the river's current has cut deeply into the easily eroded soil, creating steep drop-offs and exposing a mass of gray clay containing minerals craved by mountain goats and other animals. Elk and deer are also attracted to these natural minerals.
