Nice little cruise up to Lewis Peak that included a rabid squirrel, out of control baby sage grouse, sleeping rattlesnake, and a near mountain lion encounter. Wild one out there tonight. 

Easy paced 1:03 to the top, a little longer on the way down with all the critters around.

Very nice sunset from the peak.

I have no appreciation for these things...

Ummm I think you are within striking distance of that rattler... Happy to see you've been out enjoying yourself :)

Ya, probably, but it was sleeping, not kidding, I had to throw rocks at it to get it to move at all.

You see a lion out there too? Or was it BigFoot?
