Hey there, good morning everyone! It’s a stunning, crisp morning here in the gorgeous Missoula, Montana. My usual morning blog got sidetracked today because I stumbled upon an amazing job opportunity while hanging out at Liquid Planet. So, I’m just dropping a quick note here due to a recent highlight in the Mountain Ear Newsletter. Super excited to share that they featured one of my snapshots and a recount of our hiking adventure about a month back.
September 10, Saturday: The fearless Bill Martin didn’t let a gloomy weather forecast stop him from teaming up with Jim Goss for an epic hike up to Heart Lake, Pearl Lake, and a saddle between Pearl and Dalton Lakes, making our way to the State Line trail at the day’s peak of 7,100 feet. Trudging a mile on the ridgeline with an inch of fresh snow from the night before, we found a trail on the other side of Heart Lake to round off our journey with a total of about 8 miles under our boots. Despite only catching brief glimpses of sunshine and running into a quick corn snow shower, our spirits were high and our feet surprisingly dry, thanks to the well-maintained trail. The views were somewhat obscured, but watching cloud armies clash over cliffs and ridges was a spectacle in itself. It was a day that reminded us all about the rewards of sticking through.
