Hell's Canyon ...

Today's photo is a shot of the old Hell's Canyon Guard Station, up in the Highland Mountains west of Silver Star ... it's another one of the Forest Service recreational cabins I hung out at last summer. A really lovely spot, like so many in the state.

I confess I have mixed feelings about the Highlands ... the geography is thoroughly inviting, but the mountains really suffer due to their proximity to Butte. Most of the local visitors to the Highlands clearly don't respect the land, and it shows.
