Swan Rangers Snowshoe Echo Creek!

Cedar - hemlock forests in the Echo Creek headwaters! (Keith Hammer photos)

Ten Swan Rangers took a snowshoe tour of several springs that are the origins of Echo Creek on Saturday, March 15, 2014!

It's a wonderful loop on an old fireline/skid road east of Strawberry Lake Road, which offered up tracks of elk, pine marten, bobcat, and snowshoe hare!

An old network of roads in Krause Basin, snowed-in during winter and great for skiing and snowshoeing, are shown on the Swan Lake District Map.

 

 

Just another sunny Swan Range Saturday!

 

There are a handful of big old cedar trees along the loop, and lots of younger ones!

 

A fallen birch log with a very busy sense of community! One can almost hear the fungi chatter!

 

DO NOT lick the fungi!

 

What appeared to be pine marten tracks, left, and bobcat tracks, right - seen elsewhere along the loop, but not together!

 

The Rangers continue their uphill training for Infinity Ridge!

 

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!
