Big rocks make a good bed for a Mountain Goat

When you’re at an altitude of 14,000 feet or so, it can be quite chilly. The rising sun provides much-needed relief and can feel so good and be so relaxing. This beautiful Mountain Goat seemed to be enjoying soaking in the warmth and couldn’t hardly keep its eyes open as it lounged on a monster boulder near the top of Mount Evans, Colorado. As cold as it was on this morning in June, it is undoubtedly far less pleasant up there as winter starts to gear up in earnest. Of course, these alpine residents are well suited to the conditions. Me? Not so much. 😉
