Taking advantage of a break in the weather today (cold, dry, partly sunny), I paid a visit to the Big Hole Lookout and Peak, the last for this year.
From the trail head at about 5,600 feet
to the old Cabin itself at 6,922 feet
it’s a little over 2 miles on a very nice trail in the TeePee/Spring Creek roadless area of western Montana’s Cabinet Mountains.
I will think often, during the winter, of this old friend awaiting my next visit come spring.
(If anyone is interested in the Big Hole Lookout, I have put THIS set of photos on Flickr).
