Oops. Sorry about that. Seriously, I was there about this time of year and it was only a faint dusting of snow. Sorry you couldn't do the loop.
My next destination is Bruneau Canyon Overlook, an 18 mile diversion up a road that’s half paved, half loose gravel and a final mile or so dirt track. This takes you through more beautifully wild and untouched country and past a slightly disconcerting sign that warns you: ‘This road crosses US Air Force bombing range for the next 12 miles. Objects may fall from aircraft.’ What kind of objects? Bombs? Engines? The pilot’s Ray-Bans?
We really love your observations and those photos are great. Thanks so much for taking us along with you on this trip!
