Hellroaring Rd. from Rock Crk Cyn 2300m to that plateau 3140m, 24 K total, mix of road/trail. Very dry SE breeze and mild 5-7C, a rarity. The melting ice patches 3200m a bit smaller, thinner, than 3 years ago. The science is clear and sad to see. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2600941123 Glad there were still areas ❄️ from 9 days ago, even on the road shady areas. A little more coming Fri. hopefully. All quiet, Ursine friends probably in town, marmots underground. #climate #hiking #dogs #montana #gye #mountains
