It’s just under 100 klicks from the Camas Bridge to Logan Creek round trip. That’s where the Hiker/ Biker closure was. The plows have made it about a mile plus past the loop. A good sunburn was the reward of this first day of May and my first daffodil flowered out! There were some good slides along the road, I’m excited to go further up now.
The river is inviting again, there was a prescribed burn on Big Prairie, oh, and some northern lights last night… Life is good.
Going-To-The-Sun road is still only open to Lake McDonald Lodge, the Hiker/Biker closure is at Logan Pass. Camas Road is open for car traffic as well as the Kintla Lake Road from the Polebridge Entrance to the end of Big Prairie. Ranger word is that the Bowman Road will not open until May 22nd and the Kintla Road above Big Prairie is not scheduled to open until June 8th. So, the pavement makes some good road riding with little traffic this time of the year and then, there is always Bowman Lake!
One just never gets tired of it:
Snow is piling up on the hostel front porch

Always a great hike/ snowshoe up the mountain:
and a happy New Year!
The snow is still a bit skimpy and you have to watch out for some boney spots on your way up the road to Bowman Lake, but, as always, there is nothing like it.
Looks like Yellowstone Park, the North Fork on a -30° F or -35° C degree morning.
