Mountain Goat
(Oreamnos Americanus)
Mt. Evans, CO

Purchase Print
Mt. Evans Colorado is a great place to view high country mammals like mountain goats and bighorn sheep. Even if you have only one day in the area, it's worth a drive as you can drive all the way to 14000 feet on a beautifully paved road. One caveat: don't make the drive, as we did, originating at sea level on the same day--you could be in for a nasty (and dangerous) case of altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness)!
