There are two fairly specific places in this world where I get the utmost sense of “home”. This is one of them. The mountains here have a unique look, and are incredibly abrupt. The forest is the wildest left in the lower 48, home to all predators prior to European settlement. The small valley in this location has frequent sightings of lynx, wolverine, cougar, grizzly, bighorn, elk, moose, mountain goat, moose, fisher, pine marten and black bear. Bald eagles, golden eagles and osprey soar along the mountain cliffs. Waterfalls are everywhere, as well as deep blue lakes of size. Truly magical country.
