I am in. Where did you have in mind? I have been out a couple times shed hunting, Always up for something new.
Dayhike or Saturday-- Sunday trip?

 

[Darren Best]

I'm in.

Was thinking just a day hike and Scotchman again or we go further up the road slightly into Montana up squaw peak...basically same climb with view of Bull river.

What are the specs on the the hike? Elevation, miles? Sounds like a good time.

3.5 miles with 3700' gain one way, little to no water, so bring your own.

Time to the top is between 2.5-4 hrs....the scenery was impressive

In!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance of an over nighter?

 

[Randle]

Ross, where is the other area you mentioned ? Is it the same area? I might be up for a Saturday --Sunday trip. It depends on what weekend.

Ross, just let us know what dates you have in mind.

 

[Darren Best]

The weekends of June 21 and 28 are open for me.

The squaw peak trail is about 7 miles inside of Montana after you go through Clark Fork on the same divide of Mountains as Scotchman, another 20 minutes up the road from Clark Fork.... I was looking at 6/14 or 6/28 and a single day hike for me.........

 

[Randle]

OK , The 28 th works for me , My son is getting married on the 14th.

 

[Ross]

Looks like June 28th it is, now someone get that Ryan character to join the party...

Ross,

I'm not finding a Squaw Peak in the vicinity of where you are talking about.

There is a Squaw Peak near Flathead lake, but it has been renamed. That one is a whole lot further than 7 miles past Clark Fork.

Right next to the Big Eddy campground the squaw peak trail starts. It is a quad trail for 2.5 miles then forest service trail for the balance of the hike...my vote is Scotchman on Saturday

I think that peak has been renamed Star peak.
The 28th May work for me. I would love to join u guys.
