Meet Me At "The Goats"

For the last couple of months you probably wondered what that half built platform in the middle of the base area was. Well, today we installed this bronze sculpture of an adult mountain goat and kid. Mountain goats are iconic animals at The Basin wandering the East Wall ridge lines especially in spring. We wanted to pay tribute to these absolutely beautiful animals and give you guys a great place to sit, gather, visit with friends, take photographs and soak in The Basin vibe. Tell your friends, "Meet me at the goats."

I want to thank sculptor Stephen LeBlanc for this special work. You have probably other pieces of his art; Max and Edna at River Run in Keystone, the Bighorn Sheep at Main Street and Highway 9 in Frisco, and the Elk at the Frisco round about.
