Jan 20, 2016: North Slope

An eastward view along the north slope, as viewed from the NW corner of the Upland Trail (on an overcast day).  Just after taking this shot I found #270 for the Park, a Townsend's Solitaire, which are normally found in the Rockies and to the west (although 1 or 2 can be found in NW Iowa during the Winter months).  Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain a good photograph. 1/20/16 (Wolf.
