from Kintla Lake to Bowman Lake…
Kintla Lake and Brown Pass
This post features a photo of the head of Bowman Lake. The Columbines are seen on the way to Brown Pass as well as the tree hit by a good sized rock. Plenty of shots of the waterfalls coming out of Hole-in-the-wall plus the snow covered hanging valley it comes from. Also, on a recent bike ride to Kintla Lake, which was beautifully calm for a change I took some photos of sticky geraniums, balsam root, paint brush, lupines and the north fork river.
A wintery morning in Polebridge
How about waking up to some beautiful snow laden cottonwood trees and 5 inches of ground cover? After canoeing a couple weeks ago and biking last week should I get my skis back out?
spring runoff
waterfowl in the front yard,
a canoe trip circumnavigating the hostel,
as of today we are a waterfront hostel!
some wildflowers on the Rocky Mountain Front
Here are a few examples of the Flower Garden you will find east of Rockies this time of the year…
Back on River Time
You won’t see me on the cold spring river water until the air temperature hits a least a comfortable 25 C, or for the metrically challenged in the mid-seventies! Today was just such a day and for a bonus there was a fine wolf print in the mud by the slough when I got back home to the hostel!
Ride to Kintla Lake
If you don’t mind to hike a few patches of snow, which probably will be gone shortly, Kintla Lake makes a beautiful bike ride this time of the year. You can drive half way up if you prefer not to ride all the way from Polebridge, but that’s missing half the fun!
Bike Riding season has begun
Camas Road has opened and other park roads are drying out. Big Prairie is dry half way up to Kintla Lake and full of elk and deer. It might open the 7 miles towards Kintla Lake by Monday Bowman Lake road is dry halfway up then snow covered also.
