Beartooths From the Bighorns

It was a postcard kind of day. Abundant sunshine, light wind, and no jacket necessary in the middle of November. Somehow I always end up visiting the northwest part of the Bighorn Mountains at this time of year. Knowing Highway 14A will soon close for the winter, I always try to get in one last hike. My destination was Medicine Mountain via a different route from the west. The beginning was relentlessly steep. But each time I stopped to catch my breath the view just kept getting better and better behind me. On every horizon rugged snowcapped peaks pierced the deep blue sky. The Beartooth Mountains lined up with the cliffs of Five Springs Mountain to the northwest.
