First Big Hike

Two days ago, I finally got the time to go on a full day hike. My friend Katie and I drove up to a trail called Hellroaring Creek. It was a 2 hour drive to get there, but worth it in every way.


We started out on the Hellroaring Trailhead at 10am, went to the bridge between 2H7 and 2H8, crossed over and headed back to the ford. From there we headed northwest, crossed the stock bridge, and came back down across the Blacktail Plateau. We exited at the Blacktail Creek Trailhead at 7pm, and got a ride back to the car from some co-workers. They saved us from a long walk back, and it surely would have been dark by the time we got to the car. The total mileage of the hike was about 17 miles. 

I picked out some of my favorite pictures but you really have to check out the slideshow because there are so many good ones.














And yes, those are two grizzly bears fighting. The slideshow is below.

  1. Awwwwwwsome, Shane! Harv and I just read your blog and checked out the slide show, very cool! Especially loved the grizzly photos, but didn't care for the pic of the sign that said your safety can't be guaranteed, not a good one for your mom to see! ;)
    Love you and so happy to see you're having fun out there! Mom
