I haven't gotten any good photos of them, but I've done my first two "backcountry" ski outings ever in the last week. Skinned up part of Bridger Bowl last weekend and then did a short nighttime one in a popular spot just up the mountains south of town. Snow is already better than it was by...

Missed opportunity, leaving that in the car at the trailhead haha. They got to trade off on wearing the backpack though. Really need to get a second dog backpack to make our lives easier when we take them.

Southern Madison Range! That's a good guess. I honestly forgot we have stinging nettle out west. Had a few encounters with it growing up in Indiana. And yes! Some of the best burgers around! I can only think of maybe one or two others in SW Montana that come close.

July 26-28, 2024 Now that we're solidly in shoulder season, it's time for me to get going on my trip reports from this past summer. In truth, I should have done them earlier, but here we are! Jessica and I have been married for ten years now. Due to a fairly busy early summer, combined with my...

Love that! Incredibly rare photos of @Titans

Some interesting experiences packed into that trip. Wow. Pretty incredible catching that landslide too, I imagine. I always wonder about those, looking at piles of rockfall in the mountains. I'll hear a few fall in the night sometimes, but never something cataclysmic.

Awesome to see Kishenehn Ranger Station! I've been curious about going up there and never had a clue what to expect other than a long forest walk. Very fast growth of those trees too.

Me too. I never had a chance to go!

I'd definitely rent snowshoes or xc skis! Wish I knew Cooke City better to give you pointers over there. I'd imagine there's good stuff to go snowshoe/ski almost right from town. Blacktail, Specimen Ridge, and Lamar Valley will be great for hiking or snow travel. I backpacked a shuttle route up...

Love seeing a good Uintas report. They're not quite as common as they were on here in the past. I had the same reaction as you up in the high part of Naturalist. I had it all to myself late in the season and was constantly blown away by it all. Your photos of it are great!

This is quite the catchy headline! Had no idea about this practice.

Nice! Love how quiet that corner is. I've hardly seen another person on any of the trails there.

Great water bottles. Still use both of mine all the time. Missed a good opportunity to take a shot of it today out working at Ruby Reservoir.

Yeah, this was our fifth year doing a trip there this time of year, and it was by far the warmest and driest I've experienced. Makes life easier, but I kinda wished it had rained or snowed just a bit. Haha.

Some subtle colors from a few days ago in the Bechler area of Yellowstone.

Another vote for Granite Gear. Changed the game for me when I switched over from Osprey. Lightweight, comfortable, and very durable. I use the Crown, which may be slightly larger than you're looking for.

Great trip! And I loved the food and beverages highlights as well.

Sounds like it was a week-long solo trip? That's not a trip I'd be brave enough to try solo. Rainy and foggy when he summitted. Probably a pretty sketchy descent.

Beautiful! Love seeing the leaves start to go. Must have been great having that all to yourself (helicopter aside).

Welcome! Sounds like you'll be very happy with your move!
