Recently, a neighbor told me some interesting news: people have seen signs that a mountain goat has visited our ridge.
The ridge is a fairly gentlly sloping toe of Mount Riley, but the sides are steep to the point sheerness in most places, and the bedrock sticks through here and there, forming stony bluffs. Any mountain goat would adore the place, if there weren’t so many higher, less peopled mountains all around.
A goat’s eye view? This is the spot on the bluff i’d sit and watch the bay from for hours (Photo: Mark Zeiger).
