Among many other things, I’m thankful for mountain peaks that are still pristine,
(Cherry Peak in the Cherry Peak roadless area)
places with southern exposures that look like this,
(the Bitterroot Mountains in the distance viewed from Penrose Peak)
northern slopes still loaded with snow in July,
(The Northern slope of Penrose Peak on July 7th)
and little critters that still live in these beautiful places as they have for thousands of years.
(Columbian Ground Squirrel in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains)
Most of all I’m thankful that there are still folks around who also love places like these!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
