Oh man didn't realize it had that as an option, thank you both very much for the info!

Hey everyone, I did the West Branch loop in the Rawah's a couple years ago and loved it and was looking at doing a solo trip there at the end of August. I know there was a fire in the area last year so was wondering if anyone had any information on how or if that loop trail was hit? It looks...

Awesome trip report! Looks like a really beautiful area and very nice photos, looks like you had some great lighting, thanks for sharing!

Sorry for the late response, been in the woods and mountains the last 2 weeks. :) Oh man that is cool. I really need to look into getting one of those 360 cameras! It really is an amazing place, be sure to check it out! In regards to the footprint I want to say it was close to the size of my...

Thanks! It is definitely an amazing place, you wouldn't regret doing a multi-day hike that's for sure!

Looks really beautiful with all the green and the flowers! Really cool having the sheep hang out with you at camp, pretty jealous of that! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing! Definitely going to have to add this place to thee ole bucket list, looks amazing!

Thanks! Yeah it was really nice having him come along, definitely made the drive a lot better that's for sure! He had a good story when I got back about how he forgot to secure his cooler and ravens got all of his hot dogs and a steak.

Hey everyone, originally this was going to be my first solo vacation but a few weeks before I was to start my drive from the Chicago suburbs my dad called me up and asked if he could tag along. So it became our first father son road trip, thankfully it went smoothly! His plan was to camp in Dead...

Congrats on your first solo! Looks like a really unique place with some cool variation in the surroundings. I just did my first solo a few months ago, still need to upload a trip report, but that was my biggest issue as well. I did a lot of wondering around but still just always had this feeling...

Sorry for the late response. It is definitely possible in one day if you're in good shape and aren't carrying a lot. We talked to two guys doing the CDT and they had basically done the whole thing in one day and still had more miles to go. Can't really say how long it would take but I imagine...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to spend this weekend looking up some good routes in these areas. Not sure about the Beartooths, our only attempt at something even close to off trail went poorly ha Thanks for the book suggestion Outdoor, I'll see if I can get him to read it :)

Oh wow that does look like a beautiful area! I'll definitely look into that! Colorado would be a nicer drive too. Thanks for sharing and the idea!

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I'll definitely look into them. I'm sure there are plenty of options that have better views than Yellowstone but it's at the top because I'm a huge wildlife guy and have always wanted to explore the backcountry there. We actually don't fly fish but do usually go...

Hey everyone I am looking for some ideas for a mid to late August hike. I have one route in Yellowstone that starts at the southern border and moves up along I believe Snake River? and then up around Heart Lake and back down. It would put us on a river for night one and four with two nights...

Thanks, it is a really nice loop and I imagine with some better weather it would have been even more beautiful. I think it is a pretty popular loop and the hike into Big Meadows isn't far so I imagine the screaming kids thing can be relatively common in there. Thankfully the hail he's holding...

As a kid my grandparents had a cabin on a wilderness lake in northern Wisconsin. We would spend a few weeks there a year, fishing, hiking and exploring. So I grew up learning about nature and wildlife and just was happiest when in it. We would also drive out and camp in the BWCA of northern...

The closest backpacking trip I have done near Chicago is the Manistee River Loop trail in Michigan. I want to say it was a little over 20miles and about a 5 hour drive. Can get pretty crowded though but there are some decent sites on the river. I personally think it would be worth it though to...

Looks like a really beautiful place! Thanks for sharing. Going to have to get a passport now. Those fences are weird too because the holes are way to big to stop mice or smaller rodents but maybe stops marmots if they are a big problem there.

Nice, not far from where I'll be. Hopefully it works out well for both of us! :thumbsup:
