There’s another lake a couple of miles up the trail, then a pass that crosses the spine of the wilderness. I can hardly wait until next summer lets me go up there again!

This one almost looks like two seasons – one for the high country and one for the low. Beautiful on both counts.The snowflakes add something special.

I wish I could get to it in winter. The snow there would be very deep and the lake, frozen.

October was the first time I visited that lake and I fell in love with it. It might even be closer to you than it is from here, and an easy but fairly steep trail up to it.

I see that Friday and Saturday night in Billings the temperature is expected to go down to -20°. Happy early winter.

Yes, Billings gets in on those Canadian cold fronts every time. I’m glad it’s 600 miles away, but we are supposed to see -13 for the weekend too. It’s +6 at the moment, headed for -9 tonight.

I’m so glad that the lake is tucked back inside the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness and is therefore protected. Can you imagine what it would be like were it along a highway and open to development?

That is a really beautiful photo! I especially like it with the little falling snowflakes on your page too… it’s like looking out a window onto a snowy day 🙂

There was a period of time that day when the scenery looked exactly like that, with huge snowflakes drifting down.

Nice contrast between the warmth of the colors in the foreground and the cold snow in the background.

I’m pretty sure if it were possible to be there today, there would not be a contrast. That’s very heavy snow country. One of my fondest wishes now is that I will be healthy enough to post more photos of that lake next summer and of the country several miles above it!

It’s a beautiful spot and It looks like a great place to fish, but I imagine the snow must get pretty deep there in winter.

That general area gets the most precipitation os anywhere in Montana. It wouldn’t be surprising to see ten or more feet of snow on that lake

What a nice blend of color and snowfall. It looks just like fall in the High Sierra, which I suppose is similar in climate to Montana.

Did you know that you can change the direction of the falling snow by using your mouse. Adds yet another dimension.

Yes, I’ve played with that too. It was a great idea for WordPress to install the snow, at least for those of us who post photos from the northern parts of the world.

Thanks Pam! That cabin would be a great place to spend some time this winter! We love the snow here, sitting by a warm fire!

I love the contrast here between the warmth of the remaining color and the snow, but it has to be just as beautiful when it’s snow covered. For that matter, it’s surely just as beautiful in spring. We’ll hope you’re in prime trekking condition when the new season rolls around!

Thanks! If I were now in trekking condition I would be visiting there next week. The good news is that I may be able to hike again come spring.
