September 13-15, 2024 Continuing with the old trip reports since the covid isn't gone yet, here's one I did in September on Pebble Creek in Yellowstone. I had just finished up at a 3-day work conference at Fairmont Hot Springs, so I went home to grab my mostly pre-packed gear and headed toward...

Sounds a lot like down here in Montana too, until this past week. Still too warm, but the mountains have been getting good snow recently at least. The xc skiing up there looks great!

Welcome! @Wanderlust073 has some experience in the Chicago area and surroundings I believe, maybe would have some recommendations.

Pretty cool to get a good mountain trip in in the second half of December! Is that area usually snowbound by then, or does it just generally not get much snow?

August 17-18, 2024 Sitting here with covid, I decided to mix up my sitting and laying around by writing up a report or two from the past season. This route mostly followed the CDT as I understand it. It was just right for a weekend trip. We started off the day by setting up our shuttle. My...

Big Boy! A Midwest classic.

I think this is gonna be the year where I actually do a Bob Marshall trip. Trying not to jinx it by saying it. Would also really like to head back to the southern Absarokas. Haven't been since 2019. Annual Bechler area trip also. We're thinking of trying some lesser traveled ways this year...

Got em, basically a pinpoint location too! I'd expect nothing less. I only did an overnight route through there but it was some of my favorite stuff I've done in Montana. Have at it!

Generally wouldn't recommend doing this with complete strangers. It may be good to introduce yourself and post a few trips here.

Different range. This is on the CDT.

This is in western Montana, which may come as no surprise.

Well that sure looks like Broad Creek! Ha

Mesmerizing! Really enjoyed following along, and makes me miss Capitol Reef!

Tried it alone once from Red Pine. Got sketched out and never went back. Haha.

Late trip reports are always worth it! Looks awesome!

I think that was a spam and maybe AI account that posted that. Went ahead and deleted it.

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.
