Hey everybody!
Whether the high country thinks it's summer or not it's time to head to the Beartooths! We will plan to camp at Goose Creek Lake Saturday night but honestly we don't fully know what conditions are going to be like up there. So there will likely be some on the fly decision making and changing of plans amongst the group. This will make it more important to know who is planning to join in on this run and everyone's travel plans so we don't lose anyone.
Meetup point:
Cook City Exxon on Main St. and Eaton St. It's on the east end of town and the last gas station before you leave town towards Beartooth Pass.
Plan on departing the Exxon at 10am. That should give folks leaving Bozeman on Saturday morning a fighting chance. Otherwise getting into the Cooke City area Friday night is a nice option too. There is a good amount of camping around but check into it before hand as some campgrounds, like Soda Butte, can be hardside campers only, and also many could be full this time of year. There is also dispersed camping up Daisy/Lulu Passes.
What to expect:
There are no services outside of Cooke City so come prepared for unsupported travel and camping.
The trail is rocky and slow going. Some extra ground clearance via lift and/or oversized tires is needed.
We will also follow proper BEAR COUNTRY practices and bear spray is needed. I mean it is the BEARtooths after all...
So who's planning to go?? And when are you heading out?
Friday Night Departure:
@elkun1 (Friday daytime)
Saturday Morning Departure:
@REZARF
@thetoyotaman
@evkotoday
@planomateo
@Saul Abel

HERE is the thread from last year
