The Swan Mountains are dead ahead as we travel up the loop road for seven miles to Clearwater Lake. Our hike today takes us around the 120-acre lake through old growth forests. With autumn just beginning, we should get color on the smaller shrubs and plants. What really piqued my interest about this adventure is the chance to see loons. Clearwater Lake serves as the summer home for many ducks and Common Loons. Although late in the season, let’s hope for the best. There is nothing quite like the call of loons!
This is exciting, let’s go . . .
