My Life with Mountain Goats
From the time I was a child, I was pretty taken in by the magical nature of mountain goats.
A mountain goat mama and her kid make their way across a stormy autumn tundra.
As a full-time conservation photographer specializing in mountain biomes and alpine wildlife, it became clear to me that I needed to spend time learning more about these animals, and my project, Life With Mountain Goats, was formed.
During this years-long project, I tracked small mountain goat herds through some of the most rugged mountainous terrain in the lower 48: the San Juan Mountains. I wanted to learn about their behaviors, group dynamics, and seasonal changes. And, of course, I wanted to create beautiful photos!
My new book Life With Mountain Goats is a collection of images, information, field notes, and stories about my time tracking these extremely remote herds. It’s a book for all ages, from the littlest explorers to seasoned pros. It’s currently available for pre-order and will be shipping by December 1st, 2022!
Whether you’re looking to learn about these animals or just take in the mountain views, this book is for you!
Editor’s note: Deirdre Denali Rosenberg is a long-time contributor to Backpackers.com. She has extensive experience out in the field observing wildlife and is able to capture them, and her experiences, with unfaltering care and attention to detail. This book is sure to be an eye-opening look into the life of mountain goats.
