Backpack to Little Rock Creek
9 mi / 1780 ft gainLittle Rock Creek is one of the Bitterroots' best kept secrets. In late spring, the glacier lilies are in full bloom, and sprinkle the valley floor.

5.080 mi / -1000 ft gainThe section of the Salmon River between Corn Creek and Carey Creek, known as the "Main" among boaters, flows through the second deepest canyon on the continent (only Hells Canyon is deeper).

Hike the Johnson Lake Loop
16 mi / 3160 ft gainDay 1: After pulling into the Middle Fork parking lot, there will be two trailheads. Sign in at either one, but I started at TH 28 to head directly to Johnson Lake.

Wise River, Montana
Hike to Lower and Upper Seymour Lakes
5.012 miThere are so many wilderness areas to choose from in Montana, it can be quite overwhelming. But try this on for size: the Pintlers are essentially Glacier National Park, without the people. Not only does it traverse the CDT, but chances are you won't see a lot of people, if any, on your adventure...Read more -
Hamilton, Montana
Hike Blodgett Canyon Overlook
4.73 mi / 400 ft gainThe drive up forest service road 735 can be a little sketchy. Caution is advised during winter months or if the road is wet or muddy.
