THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SCENIC ROUTES WE KNOW OF. THE FIRST THREE DAYS OF THE TRIP CROSS TUNDRA ABOVE TIMBERLINE. ALTHOUGH WE ENCOUNTER TRAILS HERE AND THERE, AND USE THEM WHEN THEY GO OUR WAY, MUCH OF THE TRIP TAKES PLACE WHERE THERE NO TRAILS.THIS IS A REAL ADVANTAGE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OTHER PEOPLE. WE FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTER LARGE ELK HERDS AND THERE ARE DOMESTIC SHEEP HERDS IN THE AREA AS WELL. ALTHOUGH THE DISTANCES TRAVELED EACH DAY ARE NOT LONG, THE ELEVATION CAN BE A FACTOR.PLEASE READ THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONING PORTION OF THE ENCLOSED PERSONAL EQUIPMENT LIST . THE TRIP INCLUDES: PRE-DEPARTURE ACCOMODATIONS, ALL MEALS AND SNACKS BEGINNING WITH LUNCH THE FIRST DAY THROUGH LUNCH THE FIFTH DAY. PHSYICAL ASSPECTS: Moderate , check with outfitter | |||
