So Colorado: Mountain Goat Climbs On Hood Of SUV At Mount Evans

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) -- Be careful where you park in Colorado, or you could end up with a new hood ornament. The people inside this SUV had a real interactive wildlife experience on Mount Evans on Wednesday -- a mountain goat climbed right onto the hood.

The animal hung out there for a few minutes before moving on.

Mount Evans is one of the best places in Colorado to see mountain goats -- which were first brought to our state in the 1940s.
