  • We're coming home to the Bitterroots to round out the 2022 season.
    Last year when we did our Stateline Loop we saw Dalton Lake for the first time. I knew that we would be back! Will we be able to find a spot at the lake?
    Join us as we hike in Dalton Lake!
    Thanks for watching!

    Great time of year to in the Great Burn! Crazy how popular Dalton is now. Dalton is a beautiful lake. Like the drone shots it gives perspective. Nice veiw of Trio Lakes. Every year we hike to Heart and Pearl. Didn't this year. So thanks for sharing. Hike on!

  • @blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981

    Thanks Travis.....nice footage. I know I've said this a few times but for me the Bitterroots scratch me right where I itch. And much like the Cabinets are for y'all, The Selway~Bitterroot Wilderness never disappoints. I've never been to the area around Dalton lake in Lolo where you guys were but I sure appreciate the video.

      This is farther north and not part of the Selway, but still the Bitterroots. It's one of my goals to go farther south and explore more of the Selway. I've only done one trip in there (so far), but I know there is much more to explore!

      @@mountainwanderer Yes, 10-4 good buddy. I guess I was trying to say every time I find myself in the Bitterroots, I seem to gravitate to the Selway river corridor. At some point in time, I will feel like I've explored it enough and go check out places like Dalton lake. I'm slow to expand my horizons....LOL!
      Look on a map at the Elk Summit area about an hour south of Powell and you'll see the Moose Creek trail head. This leads to multiple trails throughout the S~B wilderness. Can't recommend it enough.

      Love the Ballad of Buster Scruggs! The goat was a young one, and we can thank Timber for him getting so close. Timber takes his job of keeping the goats out of camp very seriously. He was running them off as soon as we got to the lake. The little guy came running right at us and had no where to go, so he just got to the highest spot. We got out of there as soon as I got my shot so we wouldn't bother them any more than we had to.

    Another gorgeous trip Travis! Fall colors in the mountains out west beat anything I ever saw in the 4 years going to school in Ohio. Love those cirque lakes of the BItterroots. Your trips always inspire me. Planning on headed up the North Fork or the Skokomish first weekend in December.
    BTW, how do you like your new hammock thus far. I’m needing to retire my ENO one. It doesn’t make for an easy diagonal lay, even when I put in a ridge line. Plus, I’d like one with a bug net. Been looking at the Hammock Gear stuff since I’m really pleased with my underquilt and top quilt. Mostly, I don’t want one that won’t let me lay diagonally in the hammock.

    • @mountainwanderer
      @mountainwanderer  Рік тому +1

      I'm a little surprised that you didn't see those kinds of colors in Ohio. Never been there, but I would guess that it is pretty in the fall.
      I've been really happy with my hammock, it was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted one of the wider hammocks because the other couple I had with bug nets were just too narrow. Haven't had a bad or even mediocre night in it yet. Simply Light Designs - Trail Lair.

      @@mountainwanderer Ohio did have the colors, but once you mix subalpine fir, mountain cliffs, the lakes, and just the overall topography, nothing beats the huckleberry, azalea, mountain ash, and mountain maple out west. Unless you get up along Lake Superior or the Northern Appalachians.

    Dalton is more popular now than Heart. You should have climbed over the ridge to Trio Lakes. An easy bushwhack via the secret trail.
