Seeing wildlife while spending time in nature can be an exciting experience. If mountain goats are on your list of wildlife you’d like to see first hand, the Division of Wildlife Resources has just the event for you. A free mountain goat viewing event will be held this Saturday, March 26th, near the Upper Stillwater Dam in the Rock Creek area. “Participants can usually see 10 to 30 mountain goats and other wildlife from Rock Creek Road, which runs through the canyon where the goats spend their winter months,” DWR Northeastern Region Outreach Manager Tonya Kieffer-Selby said. “The Uinta Mountains are the largest contiguous block of mountain goat habitat in Utah.” Mountain goats were reintroduced to the Uinta Mountains in 1987 and biologists have released additional mountain goats to the herds up through the present. Those planning to attend this weekend’s event are encouraged to register on Eventbrite. This way if there is a change in the event due to weather, those registered will receive an email with the update.
