Looking north at the out-of-place bridge over grass. A very surprising but quite odd sight after miles of wandering. It appears relatively new and well-constructed yet totally unnecessary.

Looking south toward Greathouse Peak along a brief section of identifiable trail.
Nov 17, 2020 near Lewistown, MT
