Weather window today in advance of next winter system. Already starting to snow in town. Nice this morning hiking on Beartooth Highway from the closure, up to 2nd switchback. 2300-2500m then back. 1C or so, just lite W wind. Still good snowpack on the sides, but the road is not skiable, even the margins. Spring plowing up to the 3335m Beartooth Pass has begun, opening should be 23MAY 👍. We never miss that. First wildflowers out down low 1950m yest. #hiking #climate #dogs #mountains #montana #gye

never tire of that view up Rock Creek Canyon from 2450m. it goes SW here, then makes a turn to the NW way back there.
Pasques out near the Palisades Connector trail yest. 1950m, warmest SW facing slope. over spring and summer the colors move up in elev. These and a yellow variety bloom Aug-mid Sept. on the the plateaus 3200m +
a few small cornices up there 3200m.
tho I miss our mid Oct-May hikes/skis on the road, getting up above 3100m easily the rest of the year is one of our fav. things here. would live up there if we could ❄️

Otter excels in the powder 👍 she has toe socks
do not miss that turn. 2nd switchback start.
windswept here. it never ceases to amaze me that US - 212 here gets above the very highest part of this part of the Beartooth Plateau visible, to 3335m Beartooth Pass. and built 1933-36 with during the very short summer windows.
you can see where the deeper wind-sheltered areas have been plowed.

Images from yesterday's ascent of La Concha 1215m. We got lucky with the weather in that we had no precipitation and superb views.

Not an easy hike. Involves 13km & 800m of ascent & descent from Refugio de Juanar. Track is well marked but there are a couple of sections, partly protected by chains, where head for heights is useful. Would be quite slippery in wet weather. Don't let this put you off though, it's a marvelous walk to a fine viewpoint.

3 people descend some airy slabs holding onto a chain for safety
An undulating ridge with mist and clouds to the left. In the foreground to the left are some hikers ascending
A narrow mountain track which is starting to rise amongst rocky outcrops. Some walkers are on the track and a huge grey wall of rock lies to the right

May 16, 1983: The rain continued to slacken, finally tapering off by mid-morning. We had a late start to Fontana, but it was only a 7-mile hike. The sun began to break out as we climbed the Yellow Creek Range. The trail was not overly difficult, and the afternoon turned out to be a pleasant one. At one point along the ridge crest, I got a great picture of Fontana Dam

We are standing high atop a mountain. The sun is shining brightly. We are standing beside a flowering tree looking out at other trees covered with small bright green sprouting leaves or white buds. Below us is a valley with a large hydroelectric dam and its lake. The trees below us are intensely green, it is late spring down there. Although we cannot see the sky in this photo, the shadows below tell us it is mostly sunny in and around the valley. Beyond the lake the forested slopes of a towering mountain range rise from the lake, eventually disappearing into a deck of clouds sitting over the mountaintops.

It’s getting hard to put a smile on my face these days. Lots of negative nonsense all abound. But it’s pictures like these, that help remind me that there is still good in this world.

“How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.”
