Connie and I went for a hike yesterday (Saturday). It involved two states - Idaho and Montana. We drove up Lost Horse Creek until we crossed a saddle into Idaho where the trail head is located. We hiked past Lower & Upper Bear Lakes which are in ID, then it was up over the divide again (although further south) and back down into the Montana side where we had lunch at Fish Lake. Of course we had to repeat the hike coming out. Total trip was over 8 miles, but was a lot of up and down. Weather was really great and the fall continues to be warm and pleasant. The colors are pretty spectacular also. There is a new forest fire in the Camas Lakes area I was in the first part of the week and smoke is drifting into the valley.
We didn't get to relax much when we got home as we had a dinner engagement with Ike and Brenda at a restaurant up Sleeping Child Creek. The food is unusual in the fact that they grow just about all of the entrees.
Fall colors are our favorite.
Not much wildlife though. This spruce grouse was about as wild as it got.
Our lunch spot - notice the sharp rock to Connie's right.
