Exploring the "Alps of Montana"

Last weekend I made it out to Trapper Peak in the southernmost Bitterroot Mountain range, a couple hours south of Missoula.  At 10,000 feet it was truly stunning alpine trekking on a picture-postcard sunny day.  Also, it was snowy!  One of those "gotta ring out your socks" hikes.  I had lots of time to reflect on the training I need to persevere in in order to climb Mount Rainier in August....

...which reminds me, I have a long ways to go in my required fundraising.  This is the time!  :)  Will you make a donation to LVC to support me in the Climb for Peace with Justice?  Any amount is deeply appreciated, but consider pitching in $38 - that's 1% of my goal!  And remember that right now the next $1,000 of donations are being matched.  THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE, SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIP!
