21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Gazing & Grazing

Four mountain goats enjoy a mild sunset on Mount Rainier. Summer on the mountain is finally around the corner and the sun is warmly welcomed, though the air is still cool despite August rapidly approaching. A long, cold winter will mean a short warm season for all living things here on the mountain. Every minute of open sky is a treat.
