Absaroka Snowshoe

[Bob Wire]

Took a day yesterday to get into the Absaroka Mtns for a snowshoe yesterday. Great weather at 32 degrees and totally calm

Starting out on the trail. We had 3" of new snow at the bottom and about a foot at the summit. Photos are from Mill Creek.



getting the first look at Mt Cowan and neighbors






The view to the south for lunch was spectacular

That's beautiful. Where were you in the Absarokas? I know you named a few peaks, but maybe you could give a bigger hint? Thanks.

In the winter and for short trips I mostly go up Mill Creek, Deep Creek and 6 Mile Creek because they are close to home in Livingston. When I get the chance I go to Mammoth C.G just inside the park (heated bathrooms for winter!) and work the trails south of the Cooke City highway for x/country skiing and snowshoeing

Some examples





and in the spring

Thanks. I drove in the Absarokas yesterday, on the South Fork, outside of Cody. Just wondering how close we were. Beautiful places.
