Coyote's song drifts across the river valley and somewhere in the distance a flock of geese can be heard as you slip into a peaceful sleep.

The morning star, a cup of coffee and a campfire are an invigorating way to start your day. The sound of a bull elk bugle from the river mists below brings a sense of wonder as you watch and listen to the dawn of a beautiful day in the Kootenai's.

During the day you are treated to the sight of deer, coyote, raven, eagle and many flocks of geese. A horseback ride through the pine and tamarack in the late afternoon brings you into contact with wild turkey and ruffed grouse.

These are reasons I love to go to the mountains each Fall to recreate myself and enjoy the company of close friends.

The morning star, a campfire, and coffee with Bear, a.k.a. Larry, are the inspiration for this creation.
