 IMG_3287.JPG17 viewsUnder Parks Peak, two people below me on the trail were quietly pointing up the slopes to the north. I dropped my pack, removed my camera, and changed to the 200 mm lens. I ran down to where they were. The goats were moving upslope quickly. I shot about 6 photos, and ran back to my pack to put on the tele-extender. By the time I returned, the goats had vanished behind an outcrop. I walked down the trail, hoping that they would be revealed. I didn't see them again.
