Stunning scenery. And doesn't look like many people are up there--or
are there when school gets out? What's the temperature during the
summer. Quakies don't get thier leaves til June? Is that because it's
pretty cool there?
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a refreshing place.
At the 9,000 ft elevation it is cold enough you want a jacked after the sun goes down. If I remember right, the 15th of June is when they can put cows on the Forest. Before that there isn't much grass for them to eat. Those afternoon showers make it necessary to keep a slicker handy, or you pay for your sins. There aren't many people on this end of the mountain, due to the lack of roads. I've chased cows up there for over 10 years and haven't seen very many people other than our group and a few other cow hustlers.
There are quite a few hunter during deer and elk season, but we had the cows off the mountain before the hunts start in October.
Sounds alot like the Big Horn Mountains west of Buffalo and Sheridan
Wyoming...except for the people part. Lots of roads and therefore,
lots of people up there nowdays.
Mr. FH says he was glad to have gotten to roam all over the Big
Horns before all the people showed up.
His folks had a place at
the foot of the mountains, so he was close to them. We used to ride
horseback up there too. Some good memories.
What mountains are these again?
