This snowshoe hare's camouflage is adapted to snow, not global warming! (Keith Hammer)

Eighteen Swan Rangers hiked to Wolf Creek on the old Bear Creek Road on Saturday, December 5, 2015!

A few warmer days have melted ice and snow from lower elevation streams and hillsides!

All smiles on what turned out to be a sunny day!

A view across Wolf Creek to cliffs on the shoulder of Crater Mountain!

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!
