New research shows that 36% of coastal Alaska mountain goat mortality is caused by avalanches. What can we do to help? Give them lots of space while recreating in mountain goat habitat to avoid accidentally pushing animals into dangerous terrain.

We do still have signs at the trailhead that say the trails are closed, but if you decide to go out to Jones Point anyway... Please don't go near dawn or dusk (or at night!), carry bear spray, make a lot of noise, and consider hiking in a group of three or more people. There is still a lot of bear activity out there every day.
