Snowshoe hare: It's time to change coats!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel on the south face of Harvey Mountain to explore one of my favorite mountain areas. The location is north of Bonners Ferry on Highway 95 going toward Eastport; turn left at Forest Service Road 272 and travel several miles until you arrive at FSR 2481 and turn right onto Harvey Mountain. It is a comfortable ride and scenic excursion.
