Guided By Mountain Goats Up And Over Grays Peak (CDT, Colorado)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Location: Grays Peak, Colorado. Continental Divide Trail. These cool mountain goats were grazing at Argentine Pass, east (Trail-south) of Grays Peak. Then a couple more guided me through a difficult part of the trail between Mt. Edwards and Grays Peak, then a little mountain goat family was hanging out on the north side of Grays Peak. I've never gotten anywhere near this close to mountain goats before so it was a really exciting experience to me

Many years ago I was doing a winter ascent of Quandary with a friend and a goat passed us near the top. We were still going up and the goat was going down. When we got to the summit the goat tracks went right over the top coming from the west side, which is super sketchy to say the least. Those animals are awesome.

Mountain goats are pretty cool but it did make me nervous seeing you were so close to them. We stay well clear of them here in Washington and there has been one fatality that I know caused by a mountain goat. That said, it was a great video!

That's a rare experience you got to take part in. Very nice. Colorado also has big horn sheep in the mountains. It's so cool when you're walking through a silent valley and the crack of two rams butting heads goes echoing along the cliff walls.

They don't like you. They like your urine. Just save it in tupperware and leave it on the ground. They will no longer follow you. Young man got killed by one in Washington. They lost any fear of humans.

c: reminds me of surrounded in cloud cover, snowdonia, wales, many moons ago, when in doubt, follow the sheep trails, goats. deer, all use trails, . your bio should be, not just a hat rack, love that,

I've been wanting to hike Grays but I had to come back to California before I got a chance. It would be really cool to hike along side these guys.

This is a great idea, showing us nature segments of your travels. Even though we have seen them, it is nice to see them again. Thanks!
