Columbia Mountain

I still haven't been able to go to my roadless area, but I did finally make it to the Kettle Crest this weekend.  There was a new layer of snow and everything was so bright!  It was great to finally be outside--I was sick earlier in the week & I feel as though it has been ages since I have seen sunshine!

This spruce grouse charged us from along the side of the trail on the way back down.
