Mountain Goat Kid Jumping

On top of the world and lovin’ it! The snow-capped Rocky Mountain Range is a playground for these three playful Mountain Goat kids.

I positioned myself against a big rock at the summit of the 14,000-foot Mount Evans. The chilly dawn winds whipped through the crevices in the rocks, travelling up the base of my spine. I hugged the rugged mountainside tighter in an attempt to ward off the stiff chill. The morning light illuminated the three playful kids, as they jumped from one rock to another. This action shot captured their day’s old fearless innocence.
