This time of year in western Montana as the weather changes, the mood also changes, often from day to day. Today it appeared to be on the threshold of winter.
About a month ago I posted a few photos of the Cougar Peak Lookout. Following are a few photos taken that same day but from the USFS Trail 541 that goes beyond it. In all but the first photo, if you look very closely, you can see the lookout in the distance.
