I love the light in this photo. I'm looking at Fleecer Mountain which is to the west of I-15.
The open slopes of Fleecer Mountain, near Divide, have long been recognized as important elk winter range. In 1962 the Montana Department of Fish & Game began acquiring available land for wildlife winter range, particularly elk. Through a series of fee title acquisitions and land trades, the department acquired 6,496 acres in four separate units collectively known as the Fleecer Mountain Wildlife Management Area.
Fleecer Cabin is located in the Fleecer Mountain range approximately 15 miles south of Butte, MT. It was built in 1924 and has been used as headquarters for forest service crews since it was built. Access to the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL is located one mile from the cabin.
