Pegnelly Ridge

Missoula Parks and Lolo National Forest, Montana.

With todays warming trend I headed out for a quick "straight up the ridge" to get a look over the Missoula and Bitterroot Valley's. Left my traction devices at the house so the snow packed trails were a bit more challenging than they would normally be. There were 2 sets of ski tracks on the upper slope. Someone was making good use of the snow for a bit of fun and a quick decent back to the trailhead.

Views across the valley to Lolo Peak were pretty good, needed the payoff as temps in the upper 20s had me sweating on the way up.
