Backpacking in Montana

Highlights

The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness is a wonderland of wild rivers, forested ridges & alpine crags.

Beneath the snow-flecked peaks with sparkling glacial lake basins, the verdant forests and meadows are lush, and there's a good chance of seeing mountain goat and other native species such as elk, mule deer, and bear. Wolves and mountain lions thrive here, but are rarely seen. We'll explore the crest of the Bitterroots along the Montana/Idaho border, and we'll day hike to peaks and ridges which will afford classically spectacular views of some of the most beautiful glacial-cut mountain terrain in the Rockies! Portions of this fairly strenuous trip is off-trail and near tree-line. Trip base: Hamilton, Montana.
