| On the way up to Cameron Pass, herd of five was in the road. | I think this was near Roaring Creek trailhead, that's where they were when we drove back down. | Wouldn't let us get too close, even with the Prius engine off. | Most of them were tagged with big yellow collars. | Notice the short horns - these are all females. | ||

| Only the males get the big curvy horns. | At least that's what Wikipedia says. | Snowy drive for the last 15 miles! | Wow it's a Pinzgauer, fun! | Parking lot for Zimmerman Lake trail. | ||

| Across the road, next to the Stop sign is the trailhead for Montgomery Pass. | Obligitory trailhead sign. | We goin' dere. | Stright ahead, uphill.. and more uphill. | Maybe 1/3 of the way up. We probe-poled here and snow is 3 feet deep. | ||

| Took us 2 hours up, and 1 hour down. | Further up at the split for the Bowls vs the Pass. | Happy to see a trail sign, so we can tell how far we got. | We missed the trail for the pass and ended up at the Bowls. Windy but pretty! | Above our heads to the right are snowboarders hiking uphill. | ||

| In the middle, skier coming downhill. Difficult to see on far right, 2 snowboarders heading uphill. | In the middle, 2 skiers heading uphill, and on the right one coming down. | Probe-poling at the base of the bowl showed 3-4 feet. But downhill 100 ft, we got 6 feet deep! Time to plan a snowcave trip! | ||
