Here are two prime Utah spots for watching mountain goats this spring
As with all large wild animals, give them space and don’t feed them.

Utah mountain goats have shaggy white coats and derpy faces, unlike the type of goats that live on farms. But even if they don’t have the fearsome reputations of moose or bears, mountain goats are wild, and you should follow a few guidelines if you want to safely watch them scamper on steep rocks this spring.

Keystone is one of those magical runs at Park City Mountain Resort. It’s a bit tucked away you need to take the old Pioneer lift to get there. Filled with undulating terrain, it’s a nice blue groomer with a ton of width. Given its location, you never have to play pinball with crowds so you can unleash some big, sweeping carving turns.
As you ski down Keystone it’s important to position yourself to the left. As you near the bottom, slow down and stop. At the base of the run, just across Thaynes Canyon, is one of the unique landmarks that make our mountains here in Park City so special.
