We also had the pleasure of hiking up the mountain, while traversing a mountain stream covered in beaver damns. These had to be at least 100 years old and near the top of the mountain, most of these damns had long ago been abandoned. You can still see activity around the trees, where the beavers had chewed the bark away, to topple the trees down into the stream.
All along the hike up the mountain, there were little ponds that still had families of beavers living and working to maintain their shelters. Some of these beaver homes, were surrounded with the most pristine little lakes, flowers, little mud islands with beautiful white quaking Aspens and giant Log Pole Pines. A perfect, idyllic setting to live. I would gladly build a home there myself!
