Major hike with easel and pack. It was wonderfully warm until the wind picked up.

Rocks and foliage at the top.

Jentel Plein Air

Late afternoon looking towards the Big Horns in the southwest. I snowshoed to the top of a drift for this one. I just work until my hands are too cold to hold the chalk. 

Looking the other direction towards the 1000 acres.
