• A heard of goats... and one sheep.

    See the link to our Youtube video at the end of this post for our encounter with the goats.

    Emily and David were walking on the Path of the Gods and we came across some old stone walls. As we walked up the stairs to the stone walls, we saw that previous hikers had left hundreds of petroglyphs in this area.

    That alone would have been memorable, but within a few minutes we started hearing the distinctive sound of bells in the distance. We figured staying up on the wall and letting the goats pass us on the trail below was the right move. However, what happened next surprised us.

    The goats did not use the trail, in fact they were above us walking to the back of the highest wall. Everything ended well, but we were a little unsure how this was going to unravel at the time.
