Beartooth Highway from the winter closure 2300m winds it's way up to the 3200m + Plateau on the SE wall of Rock Creek Canyon in 5 switchbacks. We just hiked up to #3 and turned round for 14K. Getting deep on the road. But not skiable, some real thin areas, better to hike. Probably about 25cm fell in there from last system, less than town. Sheltered some from N-NE flow. -3C not windy at the start, one of the most beautiful days all winter 👍#climate #hiking #dogs #winter #mountains #montana

I love dogs. Let me rephrase that. I love good dogs. But #dogs can frustrate the heck out of me, causing anxiety when they bark incessantly for no discernible reason, or when they poop on the carpet. #Cats, well, I suppose they're lovable too. Anyway, there's this notion that #pets are great for our mental health. But research suggests the opposite. Hmm, we need a PhD to sort through this…
