Mountain goats

SEASONS The Palisades backcountry which is in the Snake River Range, just south of Teton pass is home to a sizable herd of mountain goats year round. In the summer these goats often range north in search of forage and can be seen at the southern end of the Tetons.

 

TIMES

 

Goats seem to be a bit more active during the day than most other herbivores. They are usally seen high up on mounatin passes. The breeze on the crest of these passes keeps away many of the summer bugs that plague animals living lower down in the alpine environment.
