Goat Lick! It's on US 2, along the southern border of the park. There's a massive cliff face, where water seeps out and carries minerals to the surface. The Rocky Mountain goats come from miles around, to leap down the cliffside onto the tiniest of outcropping, in order to get at the salt. The best time is near dusk, but you may see the goats at any time of day.

The NPS put together a PDF with the details -- http://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/upload/goatlick06.pdf -- enjoy! I wish I was going this year!
