Ear Mountain wrote:There used to be a campsite at Medicine Grizzly Lake. I camped there two nights in 1973 and caught my first Montana trout there on that trip.

Thats awesome Ear Mountain!!

Do you know when they shut down the campsite by any chance? Any reason? Not enough demand?

Many thanks for a great trip report! I am putting together a list of some 'new' hikes to do on our next GNP visit, and Medicine Grizzly was one of the ones we were looking at. Your report seals the deal, so we will do the hike on our next trip, esp. since we have not yet visited the Cut Bank area! ...

Nice hike isn't it TJ. Good shot of the Red-Tailed Hawk. No doubt about the ID of that bird! :) pete :wink: This hike is a beauty Pete! No doubt! I probably should have kept my big mouth shut and done a Trip Report on the Highline Trail instead haha :lol: :lol: Keep this gem of a hike a nice little...

Nice report TJ, I really enjoyed the pictures! I did this hike in reverse last summer, it never get old. By the way, Jersey isn't that bad since it borders my home state of PA. Thanks Paul! I hope all is well! PA is beautiful! I love PA! NJ has its spots and moments. I just do not enjoy the overall...

You now make your way up the Atlantic Creek Valley for almost 1.5 miles to Medicine Grizzly Lake. Thus far, the trail has been in some heavily forested woods and then you would pop out into some beautiful, open meadows. Well now the trail is really about to open up! RazorEdge Mountain really dominat...

Medicine Grizzly Lake!! This is an awesome, beautiful Lake! Great hike! I highly recommend this hike to anyone who has the time! It is about 12 Miles Round Trip, to the Lake and back out. The great thing about this hike, aside from the amazing Lake and wonderful views. Is the fact that it is one of ...

Well done TJ. I haven't done that route since 2010. Nice to see your pictures of it. I think maybe the "dead animal" is a hunk of tree bark? 8) New Jersey, ah yes. I spent the summer of 1967 working and goofing off in Margate on the Jersey Shore. Most of the time in Maloney's Tavern on Wa...

Welcome back, TJ! Thanks for the thorough trip report and all of the awesome photos. Just what I needed in the middle of February. Hope you have more to share. Thanks Teapot! I have much, much more to post and report. I may put my next Trip/Hike in the Hiking section. We will see. Be on the lookout...

Welcome back TJ. great stuff! As always. I love that area. We have been lucky enough to be able to do it a couple times. Can't wait to get back. Thanks for sharing. IRG Thanks Doug!!! I love this Chat Page! I missed it! That area of the park is so spectacular! As you know.... I hope we get to share...

Gotta ask - what is the dead-looking thing in picture #12? Bear? Optical delusion? :) BTW, born and raised in Jersey. I feel your pain. Hahaha. To be honest Sue, I have no idea haha :o :o :o I would remember if it was a dead animal however. It most certainly was not anything dead. Probably some roc...

The journey moves on... You now hike across a Saddle between Mt Morgan and I believe it is Flinsch Peak. Do not quote me on that. There are much more learned and knowledgeable chatters than myself when it comes to naming Mountains and such.. I do know this for sure though....you again get a view of ...

From OldMan Lake you start the trek and climb up to Pitamakan Pass. http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y459/Babytjf413/P1050222_zpserja2p8z.jpg There is a series of Switchbacks headed up to the Pass. And you definitely work here! You gain elevation quickly as you switchback up! I would imagine that...

Hello All! There's not a word yet....for old friends who've just met....part heaven, part space...or have I found, my place. You can't just visit....but I plan to stay.... I'm going to go back there someday. I'm going to go back there someday... It sure has been a while chatters!! I figured it was t...

Wow Pete, there looks to be hardly any snow around! That is a bummer! I am loving the Videos and updates! It is great to view the Park and surrounding areas through your eyes and lens! I always told you that I found your videos and photos to be truly remarkable! Keep up the great work! I hope all is...

Makes sense. Thanks!!!!

This is such a sad event!
