I was in Montana that day, but farther east. You’re right above the clouds on that trail! What a view!

According to my journal, I was on my way from Glendive to Wolf Point that day.

What beautiful yellow lichen! And such a stunning view. I really want to get up into the mountains this year – one of our resolutions!

That will be a good resolution to follow up on! Those yellow lichens are wolf lichens, very common here.

I go up that trail at least 3 times each summer. It’s obvious why!

What a view! it might just be the sun, but it looks like the limbs on those dead trees might be covered with some very colorful lichens.

Those are wolf lichens Letharia vulpina, one of the dominant species in Douglas Fir forests here. Some will be found in strictly pine stand as well.

Wolf lichens are on my lichen wish list. I’ve always hoped to see them but apparently I’d have to go north to find them in this area.

They are plentiful here especially in the old growth forests and very bright colored, easy to see.

Looking at your photos over the months, I’ve grown unaccountably fond of those raggedy old trees. As they age and wither away, I can imagine them enjoying the view as much as we do.

Like this one, most of my photos look “cluttered” because of those old trees, but they are always present in old-growth forests like the ones in the roadless areas. Like you I’ve grown to be very fond of them, and find that they inspire thoughts about the times through which they lived and still stand, many centuries, and I wish I knew more about each of all of those years!

It is thought-provoking to think of all they’ve “seen.”
