Day 88 - Big Mountain

Today is the day, venture out and finally find the elusive Huckleberry. Half way up Big Mountain (ski hill in Whitefish) we finally found them.  Delicious!  Rumour has it, farther up the mountain you can find berries the size of a quarter.

At Big Mountain we tried out the trail to the top called Danny On trail.  Very nice views and a perfect walk to give Vinnie a chance to stretch his legs.  We were not able to make it to the top as we had too many other things planned that day.  We will be back to hike to the top and take the gondola down!

A view of Big Mountain ski resort and Whitefish Lake.  (The town of Whitefish is also off in the distance on the left hand side of the lake)


View up the hill was just as nice as the valley.  The huckleberries we found were in the red plants you can see on the hillside.

After the mountain we made it to the city beach in Whitefish.  The combination of beach, mountains, lake and big sky was fantastic.  Beautiful day!
