yesterday was my last hike of the season - the highline trail, over swiftcurrent pass, up swiftcurrent mountain to the fire lookout, down into our valley, home to the swiftcurrent motor inn. i probably won't be back at swiftcurrent next summer, so climbing swiftcurrent mountain on my last day off was as symbolic as it was beautiful. and i needed some mountain time to clear my head.we ran into two bears on the way home, and they were not afraid of 5 large humans like i had hoped. we booked it home, bear-calling furiously.
and afterward...went to the cattle baron and ate a buffalo steak. don't ask me why.
