2021-07-26 01:09:08 +0000 UTCThought I'd toss out a link for the MT field guide, if you're ever in the area again. http://fieldguide.mt.gov/default.aspx Most of the references come from 'Montana manual of vascular plants.' It kind of outdated with the names and mostly focuses on noxious & invasive, but also has a lot of native, rare, and 'species of concern.' Also. Yellowstone in winter is fun, way less people, more animals, especially around the hot springs where there's still green forage. Downside is you can't really drive anywhere, but the park does have transportation if you pony up for it. In college my friends & I would usually just go to Mammoth hot springs and the boiling river which is about as far as you can go by car. I met a lot of nice elk, grazing along there, just don't look the bulls in the eye. You can swim in the Gardner river since it's technically not a hot springs but since it's fed there by the boiling river, you get 40F water & 150F water merging and makes for a nice 90F place to take a dip. It's a bit like using the tap in a shitty apartment though, one minute it's 40, and the next it's over 100. #GFY
