Front Range Patrol

Today I was by myself in the office so I decided to venture out on a Front Range patrol to see if I could find where the sheep were hanging out, at the end of the day all I seen was one cow moose and tons of deer.
When I left town it was -7 and so foggy you couldn't see 50 feet. When I got up into the mountains it was a balmy +6 degrees and clear as a bell.


The Shell Complex from afar.
Patrolling the Shell Loop Road, that's Chief Mountain in the distance, which is down in Waterton National Park.
Looking Northeast towards Pincher Creek, you can see the fog hanging in the valley. In the foreground is a poplar tree, they are all like this up in the mountains, they are deformed from the constant winds.

Looking out to the East, towards the prairie.


Looking to the Northeast, I hiked up a hill in a clear cut to get this shot to show the variety of the landscape.


Looking to the Northwest, that's the Livingston Range on the right of the picture.

Mill Creek.


Pincher Creek is down there somewhere in that white, fluffy looking fog.
Bathing Lake.
Castle Special Management Area, only access is to hiking, biking and horsebacking.
Butcher Lake.
Lees Lake.
