Beartooth Hwy still closed this morn from ❄️ yest. So hiked out from 3230m closure on tundra over to edge of Rock Crk. Cyn, then back/around, great views of it. Cold 6C strong W wind at start, got little better later. Not much new ❄️ here on drier side of Plateau, down from 3335m Pass, made for easy hiking. Some form of ungulates visible far distance, either Bighorn Sheep or Mule Deer. Warmer now UFN, summer is here now for GYE. #climate #hiking #dogs #montana #mountains #wildlife
