Awesome trip! And that's good to know the SAR feature gets local response outside North America and Europe. Haha.

Congratulations! What a place to propose. This has me excited for my annual trip to the area in a little bit. A note on where you set your tent the first night. That area turns into a pond if it rains a lot. Ask me how I know. Haha. The actual designated tent site is in the meadow uphill...

I hadn't logged in since before last weekend and am late getting to this! What a route! Absolutely loved looking through. Going to have to re-read it in detail.

Given that many portions of Bechler Meadow have standing water year-round, I'd be hesitant to go off-trail for very long if at all. Unless you don't mind wet feet and mud. I'm just thinking of the little sections along the trail where the water is 6" deep even in late September and early...

I'm kicking myself this year for missing out on yet another amazing Southern Absarokas trip with you all. Let's get it next year! I'll be in the southern Madisons this weekend thinking of you all.

Happy birthday! I'm a little late to this, but what a way to spend it!

Wow, was one of them sitting upright?

We can't all live in Island Park!

Agreed, I'm fortunate to live here! It was a little over 9 miles altogether, 3500ish ft vertical.

June 23, 2024 I haven't put a day hike on here in a while, and I figured we don't get much from the Bridgers on here, so here we go! Set out to "run" up Middle Cottonwood Canyon outside of Bozeman this morning. I forgot how much elevation was involved, which was probably for the best because I...

You could also take Grassy Lake Road. Not very fast but at least interesting and a bit more direct. Edit: whoops, just saw that Bob had beaten me to the punch.

They've got one up in the East Glacier area too. They were saying 8+ inches but now it's down to 6.

Here's me and Jessica out riding today. Spring/summer seems to have finally arrived here in Montana. May get out on lower elevation backpacking trip in the next couple weeks.

That's a significantly rarer sighting than a grizzly.

Welcome!!

Wow, I thought the water issues were harrowing, and then they were followed up with the story about Tad and Devan. Goodness. Gives me chills thinking about how fortunate it was you were there. "Hours to live" is wild. This was an incredible write up, and I'm looking forward forward to going...

Can confirm this. I went up a few hundred yards past the pool/fall right there last year. That whole area is not too bad for off trail travel. Gets a little bushwhacky here and there but not bad. I haven't been up to those falls in question before.

Welcome! Where in Montana? There's a few of us on BCP that live here.

There's a few sites around Heart Lake that allow fires. That's a classic Yellowstone backpacking destination that you should check out if you haven't been. Mid August and later are best so you can avoid bugs.

Today's the day for YNP backcountry lottery results, so that made me want to check and see how everyone fared if they put in this year. And also if you've put in for other backcountry, river, etc. permits elsewhere, how those have gone. Let's hear it! After not getting a spot last year, I...
