It’s taken a little longer to spot them due to heavy snowpack but views of Utah’s Mountain Yetis are now available at Mountain Home. The furry, white mountain goats live on the steep terrain on the south slope of the Uinta Mountains and are ready to be admired. The Division of Wildlife Resources is hosting a special event over Easter weekend to catch the view. Biologists estimate that on a drive in Rock Creek Road, citizens will see between 10 and 30 mountain goats wintering in the canyon. “Keeping the road open, to the Stillwater Dam, creates a unique viewing opportunity in the winter,” shares DWR biologist Randall Thacker. Those interested in the viewing event are invited on Saturday, April 15th to simply drive up Rock Creek Road until past the U.S. Forest Service boundary sign. Biologists will be parked along the road with spotting scopes set up to get an upclose look at the incredible climbers in their shaggy, wintery, white coats. Those interested in attending are encouraged to come prepared with warm clothes and snacks. For more information, call
