With warmer weather slowly starting to arrive, my mind can’t help but wander and look forward to the scenes and critters to come this summer. The mountain goats are always one of the highlights. Somehow, these rugged creatures thrive at the high altitudes, enduring some of the harshest conditions possible in Colorado. Summer undoubtedly gives them a welcome break. Here, one stands tall and proud, looking out over all that is below its 14,000 foot home on July 2nd of last year.
