Foy.....picnic table ? We found our Shangri-La once we reached the highest point in the road.....this place turned out to be our little heaven in the Little Belt Mountains..... The fact that nobody comes here.....well, initially that was what most appealed to me. But soon enough.....it...

Further down the road we encountered an area that had been developed with homes..... The homes appeared to be large estate type properties.....absolutely stunning estates I thought.....and a bit further on.....as we climbed higher..... .....we passed by an airstrip..... And then there...

the deputy.....it's all good.....so much good.....and so little time..... Now the road took us to an entirely different landscape.....not only different from what we'd seen from our earlier travels along the Judith River.....but also different from the northern parts of the Little Belt...

This guy.....he was commenting on the lack of colors in the fall foliage in Montana.....he said that he was leaving soon to view the fall foliage in the Upper Pennisula of Michigan.....cause that's where fall really happens..... Now, I'd say that it's true that everything is yellow (& green...

Foy.....we passed through Utica, Montana on October 8. Clear, blue skies have been the norm around here this year. I don't remember it ever being so dry. Last night we finally got our first dusting of snow in the valley. Soon enough we'll be back on the road looking for warmer climes..... We...

There are so many things that I am not.....I've mentioned in the past that I'm not an archeologist, and not a geologist.....and I am also not a historian..... So, much like Buffalo, Montana, I don't know a thing about Utica, Montana either..... Some blogs are informative in that...

Now.....we weren't quite done with the Little Belt Mountains.....but to get to our next entry point, we had to pass through those gently rolling hills and grass filled fields that are so common in the prairies of Montana..... The roads here are nearly void of other traffic.....maybe I'd see...

PNWY.....yep, I agree. That's exactly what it looked like to me. Thanks for sharing that. Are your bags packed ? Ready to go ? ghostdancer.....just minutes ago I Googled Double Cabin Campground and Google Maps threw up this weather advisory "Route May Be Affected By Winter Storm...

I was sitting at my table that morning debating with myself.....looking at my road atlas.....mountains or prairies ? Once I got back onto Highway 191.....I'd have to make that final decision real soon. We drove north but just a few miles when I suddenly changed our plans for this trip and so...

the deputy.....I'm never healed.....I'm just always good enough.....thanks..... Arjan.....well, I never knew that. I sure was frustrated that day. I remember thinking that this picture will look great on my XP post. After about a dozen attempts, we moved on. Life is too short ! And thanks...

In the mountains.....

Ace.....sorry, I forgot to include you in the last post. The statement I made about the moose was definitely misleading. I was referring to that particular trip. I've seen plenty of moose over the years. I would imagine that there are many moose pictures throughout these 362 pages. While they're...

And once again, while out walking, we were stopped and asked by a young couple if I knew where there were any open campsites.....at this point I think you know what I said..... The following morning we drove north through Yellowstone National Park..... Oh man I just love those early...

the deputy.....after that trip to the Tetons, we hung out at the cabin for just a few days when the "itch" hit again. So.....since completing the trip to the Tetons, we've driven north for an adventure in the Little Belt Mountains and we also did a short 3 day trip to climb a mountain. We...

Once here, at the Continental Divide, I thought what the heck.....let's give Breccia Peak (11,010') a go.....so we backtracked down the mountain to Togwotee Pass (9,659').....to the start of this hike.....and only a half mile, maybe less, from the bear warning sign..... The hike took us...

the deputy.....since I have no idea what your limitations are, the only suggestion that I might make to you is to give it a try. Many of these mountain hikes start off fairly easy and eventually get steep. I'd guess many (some) of them easily exceed 60% grades. Only you know your...

The Teton Mountains.....truly are some of the most remarkable mountains that I've ever seen.....and to be able to view them from a place such as this was a real treat.....just the dogs and I in the wilderness.....no one was here..... The return hike.....through the Jedediah Smith Wilderness...

the deputy.....I only see my pictures on my cell phone & I often wonder what they look like on a larger screen. I guess my saving grace is that I saw all of these things in real life..... At approximately 8,800' above sea level we left the Quaking Aspen stands behind and hiked through a...

Arjan.....I agree....."the Goldens on top".....certainly one of the best things about this thread are the many Golden pictures.....and the fact that you never see me..... ITTOG.....it was like a river of colors looking down into that bowl.....very observant of you..... Our next climb on this...

Again, if you look at the topographic map, you'll notice to the east (right side of the picture) that there's a bowl to look down into..... It was an awesome ridgeline that we hiked along now.....my eyes were constantly fixated on that bowl in hopes of spotting some wildlife..... I...
