All About Great Scenery

I was exploring the side of this mountain with my binoculars when I found these Mountain Goats on the triangle shaped piece of snow to the right. 

Mountain Goats

Today we drove through Glacier National Park for the first time. This is one of the last national parks that we had never visited. We were wishing for more time but we only had today so we drove the 60 mile Going To The Sun Road through the park. There were very few places to pull off that were not already full of cars but we had lots of good views and found a side road to walk on for a while. Today was mostly about scenery and we did get a glimpse of Mountain Goats, a mother and her kid romping on a patch of snow, a loooong way away. I had the binoculars and I pushed the camera to 2400mm for this pretty grainy shot. Birds are not as easy to find in this habitat and many have left for the winter.
