Mountain Goats in the Beartooths We've been in many mountainous areas; however, we've never seen mountain goats close-up. As we drove back along the tundra, Larry suddenly slowed the Jeep and pointed to the west. A small white dot could be seen on the rocks near a deep ravine. As we got closer, it was clear that this dot was a mountain goat.

We were fascinated by how easily the mountain goat moved through the rocks. She seemed to float across the rocks and could jump many feet from boulder to boulder.
|
While we had to be very careful not to fall or twist our ankle, the goat moved effortlessly through the rocks. |
She seemed to be the most comfortable when positioned on top of the highest area looking down on the valley. |
Although mountain goats are found in many areas, they are rarely seen. We were thrilled to be able to spend time watching and photographing this magnificent animal.
