Montana Creek Sunday afternoon

I indeed was very glad. After seeing the noon report, ventured forth. A little over one hour out & back – fast for me. First 1/3 a little mushy in places, middle third very decent, last 1/3 excellent; light granular snow on this stretch. Very nice tracks...

Sunday Morn 12/17
