Re: Smoke conditions?

I just have limited knowledge from watching the web cams (Lake McDonald and St Mary)-link below. It seems it hasn't been bad lately, but that can change depending on the weather/winds...also concerned that local fires could pop up as the season progresses. We'll be in the park the first week of Sep...

Re: Wilderness Permits 2023

It will be a mess but, when speaking to the rangers in the past the lottery was getting to labor intensive for them. IMO its everyone's fault for telling to many people how beautiful the back country is. The first 6 back country hikes I put in for I got, so I thought it would be easy. Always got the...

information Please

Does anyone know if the boat is going to stop at Goat Haunt this year (2022) ?

After my knee surgery I want to try the "easy " way up to Boulder Pass.
Unless I am wrong coming in from west to east looks to be steeper.

Going to watch and see how the BC fills up we might try the Bowman/Kintla approach if all else fails. As it take...

For filtering large quantities of water its a little of a pain but the wife and I have a system that has worked well for us. We stopped using the supplied b...
