Seven Point Mountain
Hiking six miles on a rocky trail through the Cataract roadless area was a small price to pay for the privilege of standing there in total solitude. Photo taken on August 31, 2012.

Beyond the lookout
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.

Our roadless National Forest land.
This past week the United States Supreme Court denied the state of Wyoming’s petition to review the Roadless Area Conservation Rule case bringing very good news for the millions of Americans who appreciate and want to protect the nation’s 58 million acres of pristine roadless forest land. The Roadless Rule affects all Americans because it protects land in our National Forests, land that is owned by ALL Americans, not just those in the states where the land lies. Press release by The Wilderness Society
Following are a few photos showing land that is not protected by the rule and then a few of National Forest land that is protected.

Lake with no name
Sometimes when Nature wants you to see something, She shines a light on it, as She did this little lake that has no name. It sits about 800 feet below Graves Peak, two miles north of the Cougar Peak Lookout.
