Winter's already shouldering its way in, and you can see it in the state parks switching their schedules down here in south-central Montana. It's that hinge moment where the summer push of tourists thins out and the roads start getting tricky, where you've got maybe two or three weekends left to get up high before the real snow settles in.

Worth getting out there while you can.
