Cottonwood Canyon Near the DeWeese Homestead, View North. [Speaking to Robert and Gennie DeWeese at the close of next to last chapter of Part II, the Narrator for-sees a foray into the mountains.] "The wind coming down from the snowfields up above sounds for a long time throughout the house. It grows loud and high as if in hope of sweeping the whole house, all of us, away into nothing, ....... "I keep listening to the wind," I say. I add, "I think when the Sutherlands have left, Chris and I should do some climbing up to where that wind starts. I think it’s time he got a better look at that land. “
Lower Cottonwood Canyon, Gallatin Gateway, MT Most of my ZMM Sights and Scenes Gallery Photos show a real scene that represent factually what the ZMM Narrator very well may have seen as he and Chris traveled the route so well described in ZMM. However, the next ~33 photos are, at best, approximate illustration of the Bozeman Mountain Climb of the Narrator and Chris. These merely illustrate the trail that the ZMM Narrator and Chris might have seen on their hike. I have used the Narrators words as clues, along with knowledge of the forest, to construct a reasonable "Hypothetical Climb Trail Map" on a topo map of the Gallatin National Forest adjacent to the DeWeese home. With this map in hand I sought to photograph vistas, which were somewhat near the Narrators trail. These you will see in this album. As you will learn (maps link below), author Pirsig does not agree with my Hypothetical Trail choice.
