Boat Mountain, part of the Madison Range and not extremely tall at just 9,000 feet in elevation, isn’t particularly attention getting most of the time. But the eastern edge where the mountain meets small Cabin Creek has some dramatic cliffs called the Cabin Creek Escarpment. These are beautiful year-round but in winter when they’re coated in snow and ice, they have a beauty that is unmatched in the immediate area. In the summer, a short trail accesses the creek but in the winter, the parking area isn’t plowed. I was able to photograph this seen earlier in the winter before the parking lot was buried in several feet of snow.
