I took this photo of my mom backpacking in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness of Montana after we climbed the state highpoint, Granite Peak. The scenery is dramatic and mostly untouched by humans, providing a wild escape among clear mountain lakes and streams. This trip was beautiful and the highpoint (our 45th state) was rewarding.
