Mountain goat nanny and yearling take in the sights at 14,000 feet

This mama and her likely offspring from last year were hanging out apart from the rest of the herd near the top of Mount Evans. While the younger one was mostly intent on feeding, mom was quite content and spent a lot of time just staring off into the morning sun. Junior joined her at one point, giving me this capture. Remnants of her winter coat were blowing in the cold wind, sometimes obscuring her face, but I managed at least one clear shot of the two of them.
