The next "trail" that we took, which really wasn't a trail at all, at least initially..... .....was named the Moon Lake Trail. We hiked through dense chest high brush, climbed over fallen logs, and stumbled into water filled low points. The "trail" followed the meanders of the Moon...

Ace.....that sucks.....it's been one real hot, dry summer here.....I've never seen it this bad before.....others I know that have lived here for decades say the same..... After a couple of weeks of hanging out at the cabin, well, we were ready to go again. I almost felt like I had unfinished...

Ace.....how's your Montana trip going ? Ghostdancer.....if I didn't have dogs right now, I'm sure that I'd be doing exactly what you & your wife are doing. I love international travel and not a day goes by that I don't look at a video of someone's adventures overseas. That being said, I...

This was not a difficult climb.....this was not even a long hike..... Maybe 5 miles roundtrip at most.....maybe 1,500' of elevation gain..... But dang it sure was fun..... The views from the summit were outstanding.....as most views from summits typically are..... The...

fisher205.....I think you're correct although I never bothered to see when the Sturgis Rally took place. I'm back here now, camped along the Beartooth Scenic Byway and it's not near as bad as it was in August..... ghostdancer.....here in Montana there are no helmet laws so you get to see who...

We love to hike across these high plateaus.....where the sky seems to never end..... You only need to hike a quarter of a mile from the highway and then you can barely hear the roar of all the motorcycles..... And the further you hike, you realize that there's this wonderful world that...

AlwaysRoaming.....glad you like it. I figured TripLeader would like it.....he's into that kind of stuff too. That guy that does the videos & his buddies are all so humble. They just go out and climb. Nothing sensational. I like their style..... Arjan.....thanks.....it's a dog's life for...

I enjoy watching this guys' videos as he climbs stuff, often with his buddies, in the Lower 48. Last night I watched this linked video as he climbs Granite Peak (12,799').....Montanas' highest peak. What really caught my attention is that he started his climb at the West Rosebud Trailhead (the...

Chet6.7.....It seems as though I'm spending a lot of time in bear country this year but honestly, I never get too concerned.....I just stay aware of my surroundings..... Riversdad.....we're headed back out shortly.....I've got some new ideas.....back into bear country possibly..... The...

There was one tell tale sign from inspecting the bear scat.....it was Huckleberry season. As we got up higher, I began to notice that the trail wound through many Huckleberry patches..... As we neared a saddle on the mountain, the trail passed through an area mostly bare of trees..... Then...

ITTOG.....thanks.....I agree on the similarities.....love having these places in my backyard..... Ace.....it is an amazing sequence of lakes.....I agree..... Our next little adventure consisted of a climb to the summit of Crow Mountain (9,695').....and afterwards, we adventured just a little...

I suspect we walked a mile or so up the shoreline before deciding to turn around..... I gave thought to hiking up a side trail which appeared to go into the rocky cliffs but the day was no longer young.....so we turned back after hiking it for less than a mile or so..... We backtracked...

Arjan.....well put.....sometimes it's a better fit than others. This lake seemed to be too remote for these manmade "improvements"......at least that's how I see it..... fisher205.....just one more reason to stay out of bars..... At the highest point in the trail.....maybe two or three...

Riversdad.....more to come ! It's my pleasure..... fisher205.....I wondered the same thing..... ITTOG.....I too love the summit pics. I have quite the collection. Regarding black bears (for what it's worth), I wouldn't stress over black bears. You can pet them safely.....you just have to be...

Black Butte (6,119') certainly was not a difficult climb although we did face a few challenges. First off, climbing in Grizzly country is a bit challenging cause you're constantly on the watch. The picture below shows a portion of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.....and it is within this area...

Ace.....dang that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I feel like I've been so lucky to have never had Covid-19. Hang in there..... Sierra Valley.....you'll see soon enough that we visited places which would (I think) be very similar to the end of that road.....there are so many majestic places to...

Ace.....hopefully you get in some peak bagging. I haven't seen you climb anything since that 14er in Colorado..... chet6.7.....it really is. As you'll see, I returned later in the day cause I was just so curious..... Foy.....you sure have a way with words and a vast amount of knowledge. I (we)...

We headed southwest out of Big Timber, Montana along Main Boulder Road (Highway 298) passing along the meandering banks of the Boulder River.....I don't know for sure.....after driving maybe 10 miles or so through ranch lands, we entered the Gallatin National Forest..... After a few more...

For the next roadtrip of 2024, we drove east.....east on Interstate 90. I found a spot, once again, along the banks of the Yellowstone River to spend that first night..... Sure the sign says "No Camping" but I've never had a problem camping at these types of spots. I feel like we're low...

halseyt.....the hip is doing great.....thanks..... Arjan.....we are currently and have been on the road again.....I'll be posting again soon enough. Tonight it's cold.....camped above 10,000' with rain & high winds in Wyoming.....
