Linus final has his bluebird day to summit Granite Peak, the high point of Montana, and bag his 47th U.S. State High Point. He hires a horse team to take him the last few miles out of the wilderness and reflects on the ruggedness of the Abscorka Beartooth Wilderness when he returns to Cooke City, Montana before leaving the state via Yellowstone National Park.
