We’ve had a great summer on the mountain, but now it’s time to head back to ND for harvest.
This is one of my favorite harvest photos from back in 2009 when both of my boys were working harvest. Cody is planning to get a few days off to help with harvest so that’ll be fun.

We had many miles of backcountry horse trips this summer. Last winters storms left trails in terrible shape, so many days were spent just helping to cut trails.

Once July rolled around we were able to access quite a few areas. The north fork trails are always great places to explore with beautiful views.

We had a couple of trips into the South Fork of Two Medicine. One was an overnight back to Badger Cabin.Beautiful view!

The trip to Big River via the Morrison trail was a lot of fun and great to reminisce over the old pack trips of the past.

In mid July, both Steve and Cody’s families made the trip out to Apgar View Ranch and we were able to take a quick overnight fishing trip up to Elk Lake

We then took a fun little hike with the kids to Rocky Point on Lake McDonald. Highly recommend that hike if you’ve got young children along.

My 91 year old mother was able to make a train ride out with my sister to visit us on the mountain. Great times capped by a drive up going to the sun highway, down to St. Mary’s  and then around looking glass road and back to Hwy 2, looping back to Apgar View.

Steve messaged me though and said “hey get your butt back here!” Play time’s over, harvest is ready. Sooo we have to bid the mountain farewell for now.
