Wild Mountain Goats of the Colorado Rocky Mountains

The mountain goats are fearless on those rocky peaks.

Mt. Blue Sky (formerly known as Mt. Evans) has been closed for the year and won’t reopen until 2026 due to road repairs.

I haven’t been up the mountain in a few years, it’s become too crowded and besides, I have around 10,000 mountain goat photos already, so I don’t see the point in taking more shots these days. But, I have made a few good mountain goat photographs over the years. This shot won a best shot of the year in a photo contest several years ago.
