I hiked with a MOUNTAIN GOAT on the Pacific Crest Trail (Episode 4) 

Episode 4 of my SOBO thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail takes me through 72 miles of Washington wilderness! We will hike together from Stevens Pass to Snoqualmie Pass, mostly in the alpine. After a section hiking with new friends in the last episode, I find myself hiking alone again on this section.
What I've learned is that even when I'm hiking alone, I'm never truly alone out here. I meet so many interesting people along the trail AND so many beautiful wild animals.
My biggest dream for my PCT hike was to see a mountain goat. They are my favourite animals. When I rounded a curve in the trail and saw one RIGHT in front of me, my heart exploded with pure joy! I got to witness this mountain goat negotiating its habitat for about 15 minutes while we hiked along the PCT together. After this moment I deeply felt like I was on the right path.
My knee pain continues to be at the forefront of my mind and I share with you how it's feeling and my though processes behind continuing to hike. It feels like a big focus, and that's because it is. At this moment in my hike, my left knee was the biggest reason I might have to stop hiking.
I really hope you enjoy this section of my hike and the footage I was able to capture of the mountain goat!
