Got a camera for my birthday, which means y'all can expect far more regular posts. Over the 4th Sarah and I decided to skip out on the war zone like celebrations you could expect from Butte, and head into the Rattlesnake. For all the time, I've spent putzing around in the recreation area, I'd never actually made it to the wilderness boundary.
The plan was to bikepack to the Franklin Bridge, camp and fish, then stash our packs bike to the wilderness boundary and hike the back way up stuart peak. It actually worked pretty flawlessly (with the exception of the fishing) though, I will admit to underestimating the overall milage given our short time window.
Sarah trucking in on the old forest service road.
Some hardman's cabin, 15 miles from the trailhead.
Monching, on the dam at the first lake.
Rattlesnake creek through a pretty cool chute. No idea if creek boaters run it.
Lake Mckinnely.
Being my first experience with the new camera, I punted and did not charge the battery. Right about here is were it died. We did summit and the views towards the missions and swans were pretty awesome.
4th of July has come and past, I'm now a crusty old man (25), and peakbagging season is on. Huzzah!
