A ride into Trapper and Section Corner

Bob wanted to see what the feed was like at Section Corner Lake. We rode up the Long Park Trail, which was a cuss to put it lightly. I was hoping our horses' shoes would make the trip..which they did..as did the horses fine.
We came out around by Glimpse Lake..and the views were out of this world. The above picture should be titled...horseback in the Rocky Mountains, or why these mountains are named the Rocky Mountains. This is a switchback coming out of Glimpse. The trail is actually very good.
The colors were phenomenal...what a gorgeous day. Notice Snip only has a pack saddle. She went along because we didn't want to leave her home alone.  We were riding almost eight hours this day.  Today the horses get a much deserved rest.
