AREA JOINTS JUMP WITH GOOD MUSIC, FILMS AND FUN
—Courtesy photo U.S. Forest Service said visitors to the trail have been enticing mountain goats on the Scotman Peak Trail to come close by offering food or even allow the goats to eat from their hands, which is causing goats to become habituated to humans and behave aggressively in an attempt to obtain human foods. In response to the aggressive behavior, USFS official announced a temporary closure of the trail.
