Massive weirdness

Oh, there's the Tobacco Root mountains, off in the distance. . .



And then I looked closely. . .

They aren't actually giant, 11,000 foot mesas. It was what's known as a superior mirage, as opposed to the inferior ones you see on the ground. It was really, really, exceptionally strange. There was no shimmering, and it looked like this the whole 15 minutes or so we were up on top of the Bridgers looking at them.
