Hey all! I’ve been so busy since starting my new job, so I have been MIA ever since! In the last few months, so much has happened! I got a new job, got promoted, went hunting with my dad and brother, had my mom, grandma, and little brother visit, and SO much more!
This post will mostly continue where we left off in September. That being said, let’s talk about the Beartooth Pass in Montana. My dad came out to hunt with my brother this past September, and they invited me to go with them. While the hiking was super hard, the experience was phenomenal.
The amazing views at the end of the hikes made the difficulty and sweat totally worth it. I’ll include a couple of the awesome pics I got on to of the mountains below. Hopefully the picture quality does it justice!!
In the last photo, you can see the road below us, which looks minuscule from our level. Our elevation was between 8,000 and 9,000 feet. This was our first hike of the day. We scouted from this location for a little while. After we scouted, we hiked down and went to another location.
Shockingly, I was able to get phone service from the top of the next mountain we hiked. I took the time to take a lot of pictures. Again, this mountaintop was beautiful. However, the wind on top of these hills was brutal. My dad and I found a side of the hill without wind to hunker down while my brother scouted.
By the time we hiked down the second mountain, the sun was setting. We saw a huge moose on the way out, but didn’t get close enough to get a good picture. I was able to snap some awesome sunset pictures, though! I will upload my favorite one below.
The next day was an awful rainy one. We decided to drive up to the East Entrance of Yellowstone to scout a little bit. There had been a bit of a cold snap, so there was snow everywhere. We could tell that it was snowing in the high elevations of Yellowstone. I got some pretty cool pictures from the side of the road too.
For those wondering- yes, I always look like a tourist wherever I go! I’ll be hanging out a my car window or standing on the side of the road taking pictures that inspire me!
I have a lot of new pictures and adventures to update you all on, so I hope to be able to post much more regularly again! I apologize profusely for completely falling off of the face of the earth.
I have some neat pictures from when my mom and grandma come out, so that will take about two whole blog posts right there!
As per usual, I’m writing this blog from my favorite coffee shop in Billings, Mazevo. If you’re ever in the area, you should most definitely check it out!! It’s totally worth it.
In other news, it finally, kind of, holiday season! You better believe that I’m drinking my favorite holiday latte every day 🙂 (ps it’s a caramel brûlée latte from Starbucks, send Starbucks gift cards 😂)
Until next week, Happy Hiking! I’ll probably be setting up Christmas decorations! Let me know in the comments if you have anything fun planned for the next few weeks or for the holidays!
