It was great to see our members of Congress here in Montana take a stand on this one. An issue that such a large majority agrees on.

Very nice! Were you trying for Hilgard originally? Or maybe Cradle Lakes?

Trail disguised as a steep pile of rocks. The Wasatch special!

Thank you! Too true about the backpacking food. Haha. Did not see any ticks, but perhaps I should've been paying closer attention!

We saw one day hiker and three pairs of backpackers the first day. Then one pair of trail runners the second day, that I think had backpacked in and were out on a day hike/run. We felt like we had the place to ourselves pretty much the entire time, especially since we encountered all the...

Glad you liked it! Yes I even realized as it was unfolding, that bear encounter was something I'd never forget. That encounter you had sounds like similar behavior. I wondered if ours was just curious or what. Although yours sounds maybe more predatory since it continued trying to get close...

Other than the red ants at the camp site, practically no bugs to speak of! At least not of the troubling/annoying sort. I may have seen one single mosquito in the evening, but I'm still not sure if that's what it was.

May 9-11, 2025 Here is a little early season trip to get everyone hyped for their Yellowstone trips this summer. My friend Steve texted a week or so in advance to gauge interest in camping a night at Mammoth and then doing an overnighter in the Black Canyon of the Yellowstone area. It was a...

Awesome local overnighter! Never made it up Maybird when I was there. That fall in the creek would've really shaken me up. Glad you're alright!

A friend got permits for a trip where we'll stay at Joseph's Coat and attempt to see Fairyland Basin. Very interested to see how challenging that one is. And I think we'll be doing an overnight somewhere around the Black Canyon this weekend. No lottery luck required for either of those!

Born in Richmond and lived there until i was 9, then spent the rest of my childhood in Noblesville. Never spent much time in your neck of the woods. Went up there a few times for cross country meets, but that's about it!

From a born and raised Hoosier now in SW MT, welcome!

That may be outdated because there are definitely some little log bridges across a shallower spot on that slough. Would not be pleasant to ford! @TractorDoc I've been curious about the Buffalo Lake entry. That will be some cool walking through that part. I don't think many people ever go that way.

We got our annual Bechler trip booked. Learned through experience that rec dot gov will prevent you from booking sites that are too far apart according to trail miles. We want to do one where we go off trail from Pitchstone to Gregg Fork, trying to follow an old disused trail, and it wouldn't...

In my opinion, 3P4 and 3P5 are the best ones up there. Going to be a great one!

Incredibly fortunate! Nice selection of sites there.

My success rate is now 50%. Didn't get a date, and neither did my friend. Fortunately, Jessica at least got 4/17. She has a 100% success rate.

Great photos! Welcome!!

How about Upheaval Bottom?

Definitely some Snake River tributaries out there too. Continental Divide and all.
