I haven’t spent a lot of time in the Rockies … not nearly as much as in the North Cascades or Olympics. They are very different environments. I like them both … but am much more at home with the lush ferns and mosses of the Olympics.
I know … it’s the wrong time of year for autumn shots. Oh well. I was going through some older shots and saw these two trails. They were both in Montana, near Whitefish. It was middle of September, but you can see a slight dusting of snow just left of center, along the ridge line. We got into snow before we got to the top … and we were cold and tired. Fortunately, we found a ski area at the top and rode the chair lift down to where our car was parked.
