A view upriver toward the beautiful Swan Range! (Keith Hammer photos)
Twelve Swan Rangers hiked along the Swan River above Bigfork on a gray, rainy Saturday, December 13, 2014!
And to think they were skiing fresh snow the week prior!
The Rangers take sides on whether the past week was a change in weather or a change in climate, while one straddles the fence!
The "Wild Mile" near the "Big Drop."

A drop of water can turn your whole world upside down . . .
. . . and there's still beauty to be found on a gray day!
The Swan Rangers meet every Saturday at the Echo Lake Cafe for breakfast at 8:30, leaving at 9:30 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.
Everyone is welcome!
