Description:
Spring's arrival provides a unique opportunity to see mountain goats amongst steep terrain in an area called Rock Creek.  On March 20, we're hosting a free and social-distancing friendly mountain goat watch from 9:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. near Upper Stillwater Dam in northeastern Utah.

Spotting scopes with PhoneSkope adapters will be set-up with viewing screens so you can get a close look at the incredible climbers in their shaggy, wintery white coats.  Bring cameras and binoculars if you have them!  Biologists will be available to answer questions at locations set-up along the drive.  From the site, you might be directed to additional viewing areas.

We suggest having a full tank of gas, bringing warm clothes and a lunch or snacks.  There are no amenities once you leave Duchesne and cell coverage is spotty.  The road is unmaintained, so if weather conditions prohibit safe travel the event may be canceled.  Call 435-781-9453 for an update the day before the event.
