get off my mountain.jpg

Mt. Timpanogos has a small herd of wild mountain goats that were re-introduced in the early 70's. If you are lucky you might get close enough to get some images. This one came up over the hill and approached me as I sat on the ground admiring the view. Those dagger-like horns could really do some damage, undoubtedly useful in warding off mountain lions that prey on the hardy goats.

A wonderful shot of this amazing looking animal. I was lucky to see some mountain goats on my visit to the USA in 2005.
