Yesterday brought sun and blue skies; today was dark and gray. But that didn't stop a small group of us from getting out and going off-trail for an afternoon snowshoe.
We started across the road from Blacktail Plateau Drive, breaking trail through the deep snow.
We followed the ridge and slowly made our way down the hill,
past two bison resting in the snow.
We dropped down into the trees, and came out at the site of the Roosevelt summer cookouts.
We pushed on through the snow towards Roosevelt Junction, and passed a large herd of bison.
Tired from breaking trail, we made our way towards the road...and when we popped up onto the road, we found more bison.
On our way back to Mammoth, we passed a big bull moose in the treeline near Floating Island Lake (sorry, no photos!)
The sunset over the northern range was beautiful this evening. A line of elk moved across the flats, with Sepulcher Mountain in the background.
