View of the Sapphire Mountains to the east.
I was short on time and daylight for getting in my exercise outdoors after work today, so we chose to get in a quick 1-hour hike on the Larry Creek Trail to beat the dark. I came across a few things that caught my eye for some quick photos along the way. :)
 A little peek of the Bitterroots to the west. |  A picture perfect Montana cow. |
It's not very often you'll see a cow in my hiking photos, since we are usually "out in the mountains". But this trail is located in the Bass Day Use Area in the foothills and has a small section that runs along the border of a private ranch below. While taking the photo of the Sapphire Mountains above, I noticed this "Montana cow" looking right at me. He was just so picture perfect, I couldn't resist getting a photograph. :)
Sunset clouds over the Bitterroot Mountains. The two peaks on the left are Mill Point and Mill Point West.
We had lovely skies to the east and the west as we drove home. There is almost always something of interest to see when driving along the backroads of Montana. :)
