Garnet Mountains, Missoula BLM, MT
Awoke early and waited for the sun to come over the ridge to start my day. Thermometer showed it was a balmy 20 degree out. It was nice to have the space of the cabin to get ready for the day. Blue skies with a few wispy clouds here and there and no wind made for a great start. Could feel the warmth temps once the sun came up.

I don't get pictures of myself very often, so this is my "selfie" as I hiked along. Have to figure out what pack straps are hanging down though and tidy them up.
All the way back to the truck it was just wonderful views. The Blackfoot river valley was covered in fog below me, but the Swan Mountains were visible. The crest of the Swans is the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Although I stopped to admire the views of all the adjoining mountain ranges, and of the wonderful trees against the blue skies i still made it to my truck about an hour earlier than I expected. I sure make better time going downhill than I do when going up. This is a trip I will have to do again next year.
