For an Aussie in November “cold” is problematic but a shot from the tour: Middle of July-23 at the top of Beartooth Pass where the last remains of the years snow drifts linger. Came across half a dozen mountain goats relaxing. They could have sat on the grass, or sunned themselves on exposed rocks but they prefer to chill out by sitting on the ice.
