I posted a few of my hikes in CO on here even though they are not New England to share my experiences to anyone that has hiked or wants to hike out here. I won't bore Alpine Zone readers with all my western trips but I wanted to post this one because I never saw wild mountain goats and thought these were some of my best wildlife pics I have ever taken. I have seen lots of wildlife in years of hiking but these are my first goat sightings. The TR and photos, especially lots of goat photos are at my blog at http://tomcatoutdoors.blogspot.com/2014/09/mountain-goats-on-mt-antero.html I hope you enjoy it!

Very cool. We have them here in Utah but I have not seen them up close.

I remember seeing Hot Tuna during the summer of 93 at the Mishawaka music venue in the Poudre River Canyon in Colorado. There were Mountain Goats hanging out on the cliffs above looking down on the concert. Really cool. Obviously not as close as what you experienced Tomcat. Very nice.
