LA SAL, Utah — Tosh Black hiked down the trail with a smile on his face.
He and his small hiking group had just seen one of the La Sal Mountains elusive creates – mountain goats. They tend to live above 11,000 feet.
“So, we were making our way up beautiful Mt. Peale,” Black explained, “and kind of looked over, kind of in the basin, actually, behind right over here.”
Black saw seven to 12 mountain goats.
“I kind of anticipated to see the goats,” Black said, “but it was always a neat surprise to see them.”
The La Sals are the mountain Moab’s visitors see when they look to the east. The mountains have plants found nowhere else in the world...
