I would be interested in doing it this fall if you can make that happen with your schedule.This one is on my list of trails to accomplish

I've driven it as late as early September. If you are going to push the season and can't get all the way through, be sure to come in from the Marble side. That is the most scenic half and will take you past the Crystal Mill.When does Schofield become impassable do you know? I probably wont get out again until late Sept. Which conveniently enough is peak fall color for that area!

Come on up then! The possibilities are truly endless here.Whereas I am the opposite, I want to go to MT and explore!
For real! I'de love to head down that way, always been somewhere i've wanted to spend some time. How far is something like Arches or Moab from where you guys are?It's hard to compete with the Utah crowd!

You guys just have that elevation to drive in that is like no other.

The top section of Black Bear is fun. Any difficulty is purely psychological.View attachment 53622
obviously jjvw, tworley, and others have been here, but its still pretty impressive to a flatlander from Louisiana...
Oh yeah, the Lolo Pass area does catch fire just about every season or every other from lightning. Too bad though, its smoky AF right now here from the Glacier Park fire, that one is really not good either. When you coming back up?I worked on a project at the Republic Services Landfill in Missoula last year for a few weeks, I was excited to go as I hadn't been in MT in a long time. Once I got there I couldnt even see half a mile in town due to the Lolo fire, I was really disappointed.
Moab isn't far, just over 5 hours (350 miles)
