Mosquito Pass 072516

[70jimmy]

So I decided I need to go out and play today. Went over Mosquito Pass, Bushducks said it was closed as did the sign on the way but it was passable, Only a 50 foot section had the last snow field and the road was dirt but you had to skim the snow in a full size to get through, no pics of that. Here are a few we snapped.

We had clear skies, cloudy skies, rain, sleet, and snow. Good thing was no lightning.

Very cool!

Nice Marmots as well. I first noticed Marmots on a trip to Canada; that species was the Hoary Marmot and I still call my Wife a Hoary Marmot when I want shit thrown at me.

This is a shot with no zoom showing where the group of goats were. They were on and just below the bluff on the right. If you zoom in a little more on the shot with the group you will see some young ones with them. As the hikers got near the goats were moving to set up a defensive wall. I think if the hikers kept going we may have seen a game of king of the hill.
