Mt Sentinel

Here are some better shots of Mt Sentinel behind the school.  It is difficult to portray how high it is for just a quick hike right next to campus but maybe these pics explain better than the last ones. 

-- It is a steep hill.  That is the Rattlesnake WIlderness in the background.

-- There is "The Oval" the campus lawn thingy in the middle of the school.
--a weed and a forest up high.

--Looking down on Mt Jumbo

--Missoula and the CF river about 3/4 of the way up

--Make this picture big by clicking on it.  Then look how small the semi trucks are on I-90.  That help get a idea of the hieght.

--almost to the top

--this is pretty much at the top.  My camera battery died right after this picture.  Which sucks because I sat at the top for more than an hour while the sun set and the stars came out.  It would have made really good pictures, but oh well.  I'm sure I'll be up there again soon.  

PS- On the way down it was really dark and way up by that high forest I almost walked right into a deer and it scared the crap out of me.  I figured they would be sleeping.
