    IGBC Prepares for Grizzly Return to Bitterroots

    Having backpacked in the Bitterroot for years now, I always had that sense of comfort falling asleep at night that "at least a grizzly won't get me out here!" Don't know if it will be quite as easy in the years to come. That said, confirmed grizzly tracks were just found in the Rattlesnake...

    Into the Winds: Titcomb Basin and Gannett Peak Attempt

    The pro of the Titcomb approach is that it’s the shortest mileage to Gannett. Con is having to go up and over bonney pass..twice. Early season I’d do Titcomb approach again. Later in the year I’d maybe try glacier trail approach, just to see something new. Forgot to mention running into a...

    Into the Winds: Titcomb Basin and Gannett Peak Attempt

    I received an invitation to join in on an attempt of Wyoming's tallest point, Gannett Peak back in May. Knowing it was one of the hardest state high points due to its remoteness, weather, and potential for technical climbing, I began to do my homework and research. I gathered that the best...

    If you click on my Caltopo map link in the original post and select each day's route, you can see the elevation profile of each one. Its a pretty awesome site for being free.

    Looking for bob Marshall recommendation

    The trick with with all the trailheads on the east side of the Bob is you are starting at the beginning of the Rocky Mountain front. Most places of interest are fairly high miles to get into the good stuff. The west side (Seeley/Swan valley) you get into the Bob much quicker, because you are...

    Backpacking Washington's Coulee Country : Barker Canyon

    Awesome area, and it always feels good to get the first trip of the year under your belt. Over here in Missoula, MT, there are markers on the sides of the mountains along the trail at 4150 ft that mark where the waters of lake Missoula used to be. A store in town even sells bumper stickers...

    Attempted Summit of El Capitan - Montana, Bitterroot National Forrest

    What time of the year was your trip? I did an overnight trip the first weekend of September and bagged El Cap, that snowfield in the couloir was finally small enough to bypass. I'm also curious how you found out about doing this trip? Being a local and actually grew up just a few miles from...

    Montana's Bitterroot Mountains: Big Creek Lakes and Ranger Point

    A couple weekends ago, my brother and I, as well as our two dogs, set out for a two day, two night excursion into one of the more popular drainages of the Bitterroots. After getting off work Friday night, we hustled down to the trailhead, knowing of a good campsite we had stayed at previously...

    Six days in the Bob Marshall Wilderness: The Chinese Wall and White River

    Six Days. 65+ miles. Two mountain passes. Two bears in camp. Lots of weather. Lots of solitude. Some pain. Some triumph. We beat the mosquitoes and the crowds at the cost of more snow. My brother Eric and I got to create new friendships with @Mountain Wanderer and @Joey along this...

    The Great Burn Wilderness: Heart Lake

    With a forecast of mid 80's here in Western Montana last weekend, a couple friends and I decided to get a nice overnighter in. Here in Missoula, the snow level has risen well above 6000 feet, so I convinced them to join me to a place they had not been before. I also decided this to be the...
