We met after 4 pm and then we went on a hike on the mountain above Joyce's ranch. Our hike was a short 2 mile meander up and down the mountain as Marilyn doesn't hike much and lagged behind. I walked along with her as the others went on ahead up the mountain.
The Foys Lake to Blacktail Mountain trail people have been busy since I last hiked up here a few years ago as they have now carved out a trail on the area we hiked. They had signs up asking horse riders and mountain bicyclists not to ride on some of the side sections when the trail is soft and muddy. At least one horse rider ignored the sign.
After our hike we had supper (100% homemade from scratch and delicious) and conversation until almost dark. Sue Ann brought some photos and Joyce also got out a map of Glacier to show the trails we had hiked over the past few years.
Flathead Valley and the Swan Range
Here is a view of Foys Lake. As you can see, still completely frozen.
Here are two houses built up on the ridge. To the left is a view into Flathead Valley and the Swan Range, and to the right is a completely different view into another valley. Very fancy and expensive houses.
Here are two views of a large fancy house with the second view a closeup. You can see from the photo that the driveways to these houses on these small mountains are long. Apparently this house is owned by two psychiatrists from Chicago. Supposedly when they land at the airport here they can press a button and the house gets ready for them.
