15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Enchanted mountain goat

A solitary mountain goat roams the wilderness of the Enchantments, moving from one lake to the next in search of water and salt. The Enchantments, located in the Cascade mountain range in Washington State is home to unique scenery and marvelous creatures. The picturesque landscape is a backpacker's paradise and the random lottery-like permits are coveted.
