A glorious start to our day and we're already pretty high up.We started in trees to access the powerline right-of-way.ollowing old ATV tracks along the right-of-way.There were some surprisingly good views along the hike. This is looking back on my way up a hump along the way.There were some steeper humps to go over.We lost height too.The steepest hill we had to ascend - the snow was rock hard here, even off the ATV track.Dave and Wietse come up the steep hill.Looking back as Wietse joins the right-of-way and the road that joined from the left side of this picture.The road looks perfect for skiing but there's actually soft dirt / gravel just underneath the surface making skiing impossible.Looking back down at the first well site.The last well site, the road ends at this one. This is looking back as I enter the forest. Mesa Butte is somewhere back there too.The animal tracks along the trail in the forest.Some signage in the trees - there's trails coming in all over the place up here.Dave breaks trail for a bit.We thought the tracks were cat at first, but the front claws are out and it looked more 'dog' to me.
