There's still a bit of snow and ice at Strawberry Lake! (Norma Linsky photo)
Fifteen Swan Rangers hiked to Strawberry Lake on a partly sunny Saturday, May 28, 2016!
The Rangers report the trail is in great shape and that huckleberries look very promising for later this summer!

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!
