Deeper Into The Dense Forest, Where The Upper Branches Shut Out Direct Sun Light.
…Thus Between the Trees It Is Open For Park-like Steady Climbing.

….“I see a deer move about two hundred yards ahead and above us through the pines. I try to point it out to Chris, but by the time he looks it’s gone." “

Moving Along The Wide Forested Valley Of Upper Fox Creek, Toward The ZMM Narrator’s Ridge, Gallatin National Forest, MT. More trail clues for field checks:=> Due to the dense forest canopy shutting our sunlight and the resulting openness between the trees at vision level, the Narrator can easily see a deer at 200 yards.

….AN EXPLANATION OF CAPTION EDIT REVISIONS FOR THE NEXT SEVEN PHOTOS.
….As originally posted (2003 to 2010), this Album’s Photos & Captions were planned around the original trail conclusion that the "N+C Hypothetical Climb Trail" should have 11 separate photos & captions, one for each WayPt = N+C 14 thru 24.
…However, further study revealed that the ZMM Narrative fits into only 3 photos.
……And of course, this new conclusion, calls for revisions in the specified WayPt N+C##’s, and it was decided to relocate the landscape placements of the WayPt Series N+C 14, N+C 15. A field study should determine a good route from N+C 14 here, on to N+C 23 & N+C 24.
