Interesting title for a blog ( I know), but I did love the goats! This past weekend I went hiking with some friends up Mount Timpanogas. It was an all day hike, and honestly I wouldn't of made it as far as I did without my friends dragging me. Anyway, it was gorgeous! I really wished I was a little more in shape. I highly understimated myself, but I survived! There were so many pretty waterfalls, a gorgeous lake, and stunning views of Utah Valley and Utah Lake! But my favorite part was the mountain goats. Near the top, there were heards of mountain goats! On the way up they were just laying around on the snow and in the shade of the cliffs,which was awesome. They were right next to the trail, and didn't even budge! But on the way down, they had decided to move. We got to watch these goats navigate the cliffs so amazingly! They just didn't seem like they could move that gracefully and carefully. They literally just hopped down a jagged cliff! Even the baby goats! It was seriously one of the most amazing things I had ever seen! And regrettably the pictures don't do it justice! The views and scenery had already made the hike wonderful, but the goats put it over the top! I was in awe! Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics, and if you ever want to tackle a brutal all day hike, I highly recommend this one!

That looks like an amazing hike. I saw some of Aaron's pics too. I am glad that you got to go! It was probably a great day away from it all.
I've never dared tackled that hike. Way should have done it when I was young and able. Love the pics. Thanks for sharing!
Too bad we're not in Heber anymore I could have totally waited at the bottom (I'm way out of shape you're not :) and visited. I miss you it's so nice that I can see what you and you're cute family have been up to.
