I lived in Anaconda Montana for three years and never ventured out into this area. Of course I wasn't into backpacking at the time and my job didn't give me enough time off but I wish I had done some hiking here.

Well now I have the equipment and means and some time to fly there and get a few days hiking in. Of course I still have some friends there so that is another plus is reconnecting with some folks.

So I'm sure someone here has done some backpacking here or know something about it. I've googled some images and it looks really nice and secluded. The CDT runs about 60 miles through here. Thinking of a three or four night trip in mid September. Add some additional hiking in the area.

Plus I'll get to have another Moose Drool and Rainier.
