Mountains

The mountains come alive with the bugling of combatant bull elk, the smell of sage and changing color of aspen leaves, and the mid-summer explosions of high alpine valley wildflowers. Mountains are the most treasured ecosystem of Robert and Kelli Dotson as they work summers between the base of the Teton mountain range and the Yellowstone caldera. They are drawn to rugged backcountry, whether it is Kelli’s weekly alpine hikes, rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon or reaching the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Mountains are home.
