| look at them goats! | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
While enjoying lunch near the unnamed tarn east of Natahki Lake, I spotted these three mountain goats traversing a sheer cliff face. Words cannot describe the awe a scene like this elicits!
I apologize about the quality, but my telephoto lens tends to get fuzzy/hazy when zoomed in all the way. Please enlarge to for a better perspective.

Voted 10/10 | is what I feel when I watch mountain goats. If I could be any other animal for a day, I don't know if it would be a golden eagle or a mountain goat.

Voted 10/10 | Don't they sometimes find some that have dropped off a rock face like that? My father once found a chamois that had fallen down from a rock face near the Wildspitze! | | Posted Nov 7, 2009 12:07 pm |

Hasn't voted | certainly. i saw a goat kid slip and fall on what appeared to be a rather steep face once. he tumbled downhill a few feet before catching himself, and promplty scrambled back uphill towards mama. | | Posted Nov 7, 2009 3:03 pm |

Hasn't voted | it is indeed! i saw goats in a similar spot on Crowfeet Mountain's sheer east face last year. watched three different groups traverse some impossibly narrow, crumbly ledges at different spots along the face. unbelievable stuff. | | Posted Nov 8, 2009 2:51 pm |
