Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus)Observer

on 11/24/2014 I found what I think are mountain lion tracks, although perhaps you could confirm. The picture and ruler placement isn't the best, but the front tracks were about 3 1/2 inches long. According to my tracking book that's a little big for bobcats. It was on the west side of the Elkhorn Mountains, heading up to Casey Peak.

Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus)Observer

The picture of the three goats was taken on 11/22/2014. I was hiking all day in Gates of the Mountains and didn't see anything, but then when driving back towards Nelson, just after the Refrigerator Canyon trailhead, I spotted four goats on a cliff on the right. (There was another smaller goat not in the picture)
