Mountain Goats.
This wilderness area is one of the best places to view the goats in Colorado.
Mountain goats are not native to Colorado. Their natural southern most range was northern Wyoming. The first goats were released in This wilderness area in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Since then additional goats have been imported from the north and the herds have prospered and multiplied. There are now an estimated 90 to 100 goats in the region. They tend to herd together and are most frequently sighted in the rocky cliffs above timberline.
