The season's second winter storm in October has coated the western flank of Yellowstone's Mount Everts in a blanket of white. The peak was named for Truman C. Everts, a member of the Washburn - Langford - Doane surveying expedition of 1870. The often brutal climate of Yellowstone sometimes has a beautiful side.
