Mt. Aeneas offers goats up close and personal! (Fawn Simensen photo)
Ten Swan Rangers hiked Mt. Aeneas and eight hiked Inspiration Pass on Saturday, July 26, 2014!
Both hikes offered lots of views and wildflowers. Aeneas offered the bonus of mountain goats!

The Swan Rangers meet every Saturday at the Echo Lake Cafe for breakfast at 7:30, leaving at 8:30 for a partial day outing in the northern Swan Mountains and foothills.
They carpool from the Swan River School parking lot next to the Cafe.
When hiking in bear country, remember to carry bear spray and avoid the 3-D's: dawn, dusk, and darkness.
Everyone is welcome!
