One of my fondest memories was a ridge snowshoe with my friend Alden the we did back in 2005. I thought it was high time I posted a gallery. I posted the event but a busy life, OK a incident induced shush, resulted in just a blurb. Well here are the images.
My remembrances are that this single hike resulted in Tom McClay getting in trouble after a run in we had with his thugs. On the way down we took photos and turned them into someone. I can’t remember who. It might have been the authorities, the FS, or even the local paper.
That and how impressed I was with how far Alden got his Subaru up the access road. Even with almost falling off the road and tumbling down the slope to our deaths. Typical outing with Alden … right?

Probably where we will turn around for the day.
Lolo Ridge which is above McClay Ridge …. should all be Lolo Ridge … who did all the naming?

Hmmmm … what is this?
Well the mystery to whom is clearing is solved.
