Summer 2018 #2




Idaho





Lolo Pass.  From here it is 100 miles downhill.
US Highway 12 goes through the Bitterroot Mountains 
mostly along side the Lochsa River.

A walk through the meadows
 at the Forest Service Visitor Center.

One of many stops to enjoy the river.  Notice the "white" sky?
  There was lots of high smoke from the California wildfires. 
 Fortunately the air quality at ground level was good.

Its not a long walk to the Jerry Johnson Hot Springs,
 but a beautiful one through the cedar, fir, spruce, and pine trees.


We begin the hike by using the suspension bridge.


A forest service posting that we may encounter nude hikers!


Jerry Johnson Hot Springs.

Nude hikers!

We made an evening hike to soak.

And a morning one.

Nearly down the hill at a great lunch/nap spot.

 sites are all along US 12.
The Corp of Discovery was here too. 
It seems that we cannot get away from them!

The Visitor Center and great museum.

The usual.
