"Safety concerns were increased in 2010 when a visitor was fatally gored by a mountain goat while hiking on a park trail. Mountain goats have a high affinity for salts and natural sources of salt occur within their native range. There are no natural sources of salt in the Olympic Mountains, and mountain goats have learned to seek salts from humans. In areas with high levels of visitor use within the park, mountain goats have become conditioned, to the extent that they are a nuisance and may be hazardous to visitors."
