Twelve Swan Rangers hiked the Wire Trail on a changeable-weather Saturday, September 3, 2016!
There was a bit of a fashion show and the question arose "can one pick huckleberries with gloves on?"

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!
