Segway-Bitterroot National Forest, Montana
Lots of unnamed high points all along the valleys of the Bitterroots. Today I did a recon to see if my thoughts for routes to some of them would work. Some yes, some no. But any time spent in the
mountains is good so the day is a win. After days of rain the sky was mostly clear and lots of yellow along the approach trail. Looks warm enough in the picture but it was just a little above freezing.
Lots and lots of different mushrooms showing themselves along the valley floor. I ran across this purple one. This is the only one I saw that was this color. I have no idea what kind it is.
The larch are all getting ready to drop their needles, so the patches of them on the hillside were spectacular. I like looking up into their golden glow.
Mostly I was just below the snow line. As I looked further back into the mountains I could see lots of snow of Bass Peak and some of the other higher summits. Winter is coming very quickly. That point on the left of this picture is one I want to get on top of, I got close earlier this summer but ran out of day to finish it.
