Lincoln, MT

The Bob Marshall Wilderness was gorgeous and we had the pleasure of, within an hour, running into 6 large grizzly scats right on the trail, each one progressively fresher than the next. No grizzly bear was seen, though.

The trail into and out of Lincoln, MT, is right up on the divide–going up and down over grassy balds with amazing views for a “Sound of Music” like experience. It was a lot of work to get up and down those balds, especially after our navigational skills failed us a bit. Many thanks to the horsepackers, boaters, and hikers who have given us water and rides along the way. We’ve met such great people and are psyched for our next section.
