On the way, we pulled over on I-90 to check out a wreck. Apparently, the truck driver did not see the train (!!!) and ran into it:
The hills along the Big Hole are full of mule deer. It's not unusual to see 100 or more in a half day's hike. Here's Emily watching a herd through the spotting scope:
And a pic through the scope that she insisted on taking, despite my sage advice that "It won't work." Geez I'm glad to have a daughter and students who regularly prove me wrong:
RTD likes watching deer too:
Almost as much as she enjoys chewing on deer bones:
Watch where you sit, though, this place is full of pricklypear cactus (as I can attest having sat down on a few while settling in for a shot at deer or antelope):
Those spines are sharp enough to skewer a fresh falling deer turd:
Rugged country, and a great place for a spring hike:
No wonder Butte, Montana, is one of the top rated communities in America for easy access to outdoor activity.
