Mountain Goats on Webster Pass

The Taylor’s so kindly offered to take us in their four wheel drive pickup over Webster pass in the quest to see some mountain goats.  We were successful!  It was a long bumpy road to get above tree line.

We crested the hill and there they were on the snow bank.

We spent quite a long time watching the mountain goats.  It was amazing to see them climb the rock and sheer cliffs.  It was truly a blessing to be able to see these beautiful animals.
