Unique goats with long white coats, and black horns. Found at high elevations.
Top of Mount Evans
When we got to the summit of Mount Evans, the latest Colorado 14er I hiked, these goats were hanging out everywhere, so I was able to get some good shots.

Mount Evans is one of the ones you don't HAVE to hike, as there is a toll road to the top, but we wanted another 14er under our belts, so we hiked it.
Sounds like a very cold and strenuous hike to me! Mt Evans is one of the tougher climbs for certain! (although now I wish I would have attempted it after seeing these photos!)
Thanks guys!!! :)
Christy, I thought it was kind of a funny shot, because the wind blew his hair up and looked funny :D
Brandon, thanks so much!! It is one of the hardest hikes I have ever done because it was so steep and only about 20 degrees when we started that day! Getting to the top and seeing those goats (not to mention the view from the peak) was definitely worth it!
Nice! I love the 2nd shot!
Great Spotting! That's a heck of a hike as well! Congrats on the photos, spotting and making it up Mt Evans! (one thing as a flat lander I was not able to complete while living there, the air is just too thin for me) lol
