I live in Florida now, but living in Montana had its perks. For me, one of them was the fact that I could drive home from work, change clothes, and be at a Bridger Mountain trailhead in fifteen minutes.
The wintry mountain scene below is what one sees a quarter mile west of the Truman Gulch trailhead. Ross Peak is the one in the middle of this panoramic view.
The trail forks a short way in, and I would occasionally choose the lesser-traveled north fork, which leads steeply upward to a ridge looking directly toward Ross Peak. That ridge is visible on the right side of the photo.
Though I do not miss the long winters of the northern Rockies, I do miss the Truman Gulch trail. The area in this photo features many wildflowers in the summer months, which I will share with you closer to springtime.
