Lolo Pass

Straight UpGround SquirrelWhitewashedDon't go into the long grass!!!

Towards the end of Summer Intensive, I headed up to Lolo Pass, just across the Idaho/Montana border, to try and get some trail pictures for my final project.  I only got a couple of trail images I liked, including the one in the lower right up above, but I got some other good images from the trip.  It was really pretty up there, but the trails weren’t marked very well.  I started following a trail only to have it disappear completely.  I had to wander cross country to find my way back to the main trail, which was a loop.  I was inside the loop, so there really wasn’t much danger of me getting lost.  The trail picture above isn’t actually part of the hiking trail.  It’s just a deer run that I happened upon as I made my way back to the main trail.  The grass was at least waist high.  The quote, "Don’t go into the long grass!!!" from the movie Jurassic Park kept running through my head as I walked through it.  Thankfully, no velociraptors or anything else attacked me…well, except for all the mosquitoes.  They were a bit nasty while I was there.
