Booping to Glacier NP from our guard station. Highlights included the Garden of 1,000 Buddhas, the CSKT Bison Range, and a baby deer who was not that concerned about the two humans peering at it.

We'd returned to the Bitterroots and were lucky to get a slightly less-smoky run at Blodgett Canyon. We didn't see any beavers in the beaver ponds, but did see an otter and a pine marten!

We headed south to get to Sula and the Bitterroots ā lots of smoke, but the colors along the Big Hole River remained nice.
