Excellent photo's and location. The Gore Range is now officially on my radar. Thanks for sharing Steve! This range must be especially fantastic given it has it's own brewery!

Great photos, Steve. Where exactly was the "Pass of False Hope" photo taken?

I was out in your neck of the woods from Thursday through Saturday last week. While hiking down the north side of Eccles Pass early Saturday morning,a boulder came crashing down from the knife-edge ridge west of the pass. It landed on a scree slope not far from where I was standing. Looking up, I noticed a mountain goat perched on top of the ridge. While I was watching, four more goats appeared. They picked their way down the ridge in single file. When they got to the trail at the pass that I had just walked over, they broke rank and started sniffing the trail, almost like dogs. Then they started up the other side of the ridge in single file. I remember thinking how a camera like your FZ3 would have come in really handy.

I don't know if you've photographed these goats before but it looks like a great opportunity. Keep in mind that this group was not tame like the goats at Mt. Evans or Chicago Basin. So it may require a bit of patience.

Dondo, the area is near East Partner.

LOVE the goat!
Um - I wonder how good his fur would be on me? ...

Your shots are BEAUTIFUL!

Great contrast on the waterfall shot- stunning.

What's the shelter here? Is that a Ti Goat?

Looks like the Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape to me.

Doug, the shelter is the Gatewood Cape. I think it is a stellar shelter.
