Weather window today in advance of next winter system. Already starting to snow in town. Nice this morning hiking on Beartooth Highway from the closure, up to 2nd switchback. 2300-2500m then back. 1C or so, just lite W wind. Still good snowpack on the sides, but the road is not skiable, even the margins. Spring plowing up to the 3335m Beartooth Pass has begun, opening should be 23MAY . We never miss that. #hiking #climate #dogs #mountains #montana #gye
