Mt. Evans
Mountain Goats

On your way up or down Mt. Evans Road, keep a close eye on the rocky, grass-covered tundra. You're likely to see some wildlife blending in with the surroundings.

I probably wouldn't have noticed these mountain goats, if not for other tourists who had stopped at the side of the road.

MountEvans.com reports there are 90-100 mountain goats in the Mount Evans area, and you can spot them along the road anywhere between the Bristlecone Pine Forest and the peak.

Aside from mountain goats, you may also be lucky enough to spot big horn sheep, mule deer, and marmots (a rodent similar to a beaver, but without the tail). I didn't spot any marmots on Mt. Evans, but I did find a den of marmots in the mountains near Silverton. You can jump ahead here.
