Looks like you started at Holland lake, Koessler lake, Lena lake loop. Love it up there.

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...

Excellent video, Jarl. Always an adventure with Joey.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

This video is worth watching for the bear footage!

Looks like an unforgettable trip. So many different views to look at.

Love the blooming cactus!

This was June 15th-20th. And we definitely want to get into more remote areas of the Bob, I want to check out the Pentagon area, as well as around Big Salmon lake.

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...

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...

Crazy I was there just last month.

Awesome trip! This appears to be somewhere in Moab area?

Watching them now!

Fantastic report and thank you for the info you gave me about Capitol Reef. Can't wait to check out the NP next month!
