Snowshoe hare changes coats with the seasons

BONNERS FERRY — This past week end, I had the opportunity to travel around Wall Mountain to explore one of my favorite mountain areas. The location is close to Bonners Ferry, just past Dawson Lake on Meadow Creek Road, a comfortable ride and scenic excursion. The old logging road goes around Wall Mountain and continues almost to the top of Queen Mountain before it descends from the summit to the east side and then around Queen Mountain where there is a clear view of the Moyie River and the Cabinet Mountains of Idaho and Montana. This trip is always a beautiful experience of flora and fauna.
