We had a fabulous time on the mountain this summer, but it’s always to short.  We started with a few trips up the north fork to get the horses legged up a little, and then proceeded to numerous trips along the middle fork.

Riding along the middle fork is always scenic and frequently you will hear the whoops and hollers of the floaters down below.

A trip up to elk lake was on Connie’s agenda this summer after missing out the past few years.

Glacier lake in the mission mountain wilderness was a new adventure. These mountains definately will be looked at for future trips.

Red and I made the hike up to Grant Ridge.  Tremendous views from up here.

We were fortunate that Angela, Mady and Mila made a trip out along with their good friends from Hudson.

Our niece and her children along with some friends of theirs were also visiting.  The horses received lots of attention.

We had yard work and trimming that was getting away on us, so we enlisted some help.

Marion lake was another destination that I had not been to before. Nice lake, definately worth a return trip.

The massive mountains on the east side of glacier are always impressive. This was on a trip up to medicine grizzly lake.

Cody, Whitney, Skylee, Decker and Emery were also able to visit. First solo rides are so fun to watch.

Emmy was a little to small but still got some time with Harley.

Castle lake is such a gem. I was lucky and had it all to myself for a overnight pack trip

Riding into Kiyo Craig lake over on the east side of the mountain front was another new destination worthy of a return trip

One of the last rides Connie and I got to take was up the south fork of two medicine. A late morning start prevented us from traveling up and over white rock pass, but we still logged about 17 miles in this beautiful valley.

Although summer fun has come to an end, I still make it back for a couple days when there’s a break in harvest. Was able to get out on Tanner and Red for some short trips up our mountain.

Harvest in ND is in full swing now so new adventures will have to wait. Let’s go combine!!
