In One Ear: 'Completely amazing'

Well, it was enough of a shocker to have a Rocky Mountain goat appear on Mount Hood that the sighting made it to the U.K. on Dailymail.com. They are the rarest game mammals in Oregon and are usually seen in Eastern Oregon or the Central Cascade Range, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The goat was spotted by Jackson Smith and his friend while backpacking on the Yokum Ridge Trail on July 27, Smith told KOIN. “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 recalled.
