A pair of hikers say they happened upon a rare Rocky Mountain goat sighting on Mount Hood on July 27.

Oregon resident Jackson Smith told KOIN 6 News that he was backpacking with a friend on Yocum Ridge Trail at approximately 5 p.m. when they spotted the goat descending the cliffside.

“I heard some rock fall along the ridge to our north and looked up to see this Rocky Mountain Goat about 30 to 50 yards away from us,” Smith said. “We were both completely shocked, but stayed still and silent as the goat began its descent down the ridge towards the Sandy River below.”
