We decided this morning, after a couple of hefty egg burritos and a gallon of java, to check out a new trail a friend had told us about, but that neither of us had hiked before. More importantly - I suddenly realized that elk season starts at the end of next month, and I better start pro-actively working on getting my @ss in shape. So up into the Big Hole mtns we went:
Lots of wildflower action going on right now:
Getting near treeline and better views:
Hank the wonder mutt, topping out:
And me catching up (in the distance, you can see the Grand Teton)...
The obligatory couple of knives I brought along - a Great Eastern "Boy's Knife:"
And a Bark River "Trail Buddy:"
Some cool lichen on a big old spruce we found on the way down:
And that's all she wrote.
Cool to check out a new trail so close to home.
And now it's time to hit another cool place close to home...
