Cute! Baby Mountain Goats climb wall to get to Mama

http://www.PhotosToDVD-JRoss.com 50 mph winds, baby goats try to climb wall of old summit structure trying to get to Mama. They almost succeed. Love their energy and enthusiasm for life. The highest auto road in the USA - Mount Evans Colorado. It is prettier than Pikes Peak and NO DUST to spoil the tundra. However it is also scarier. Mount Evans is a mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m)) in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak - another Front Range fourteener - which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft (50 m). The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt. Mount Evans can be seen from over 100 miles away to the east, and many miles in other directions. Mount Evans dominates the Denver Metropolitan Area skyline and can be seen as far south as Monument Hill at the Douglas-El Paso county line (79 miles (127 km) south) and as far north as Boulder (44 miles (71 km) north), and points east of Strasburg (105 miles (169 km) east). In the early days of Colorado tourism, Mount Evans and Denver were often in competition with Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs. Neighboring towns: Georgetown, Silver Plume, Idaho Springs, Golden, Brookvale, Highland Park, Evergreen, Conifer One of the three fourteeners visible from Denver, Mount Evans dominates the mountainous horizon west of the city. Its great sculpted eastern face greets the dawn each day, capturing the morning light. Much of the wilderness lies above timberline, and place names such as Sawtooth, Frozen Lake, and Abyss Lake offer a hint of the rugged glacial terrain that characterizes the area. Crawling up into the wilderness, but outside the circuitous boundary, a paved road runs to the top of Mount Evans, the highest paved road in America. Abyss Lake, surrounded by fabulous scenery, rests in a rock-rimmed gorge at 12,550 feet in the heart of the wilderness. You can reach it by hiking seven strenuous miles (one way) up a glacier-carved valley. The area's 14,000 foot peaks and proximity to Denver combine with the summit road to draw large numbers of visitors. Nevertheless, the Mount Evans Wilderness contains notable biological features, harboring not only alpine tundra, but arctic tundra as well. This is one of the few places south of the Arctic Circle, where such tundra is found. It differs from alpine tundra by virtue of its moisture, as it contains countless small pools of water. In contrast, most tundra in Colorado is dry and brittle once uncovered by snow. The Mount Goliath Natural area contains another of the region's unusual features - a prime stand of bristlecone pine. These gnarled elders of the forest often live 1,500 to 2,000 years, growing at infinitesimal rates. The trees' twisted and contorted trunks offer stark evidence of their bitter fight for survival against the elements. Two species of animals less frequently observed elsewhere have become popular attractions here. A herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep live around Mount Evans, and mountain goats are frequently seen from the summit road. The vast expanses of tundra offer visitors numerous opportunities to spy more common critters, including ptarmigan and yellow-bellied marmots.

looks like they didn't make it. sad. :(

pundek video.

there have been experiments done keeping rodents and goats out of certain portions of desert areas and those bare lands start getting covered in growth again. too bad they won't section off areas one at a time until it has solid regrowth then section off another and another until an entire mountain is covered again. then keep the goat population severely limited. this would bring back a greater diversity of species. lines of rocks encircling the mountain like terraces also control erosion and help bring back growth. many of those areas used to have significant plant growth several thousand years ago even though climate was similar.

Did a 5 year old post this?

If goats were so wonderfully made what do think God's purposed for man to be like

Awesome video, love the Bighorn sheep. I need to get up in the mountains this weekend and see if I can get some footage of them.

So majestic and beautiful. Bet they would make a great barbeque, too.
-
why does the fur on their coats look like that?

Music is superb. So is the subject and presentation. Music is superb because of the tension, reflecting the tension of the moment- the babies and mother separated by an obstacle and wonderful teaching moment.
-
They didn't make it up tho
-
Amazing evolution. Goats dont look like the type of animal that should be climbing anything! Not even a 6 degree slope!
-
Massively over dramatic music but it's amazing. I love mountain goats, funniest video ever :D
-
Another waste of a click of the mouse.
-
You really know how to overdo the music.
