Pinto Beans & Wildflowers - A Solo Hike In Montana Wilderness

As June 1st arrived, it only took a moment to see the landscape around my home in Montana become more green, and truly feel like summer is here.
The prospect of snow free trail to hike was a realistic idea, so I packed my backpack, and headed off to the Bangtail Divide Trail. It is a popular mountain biking trail, but also is used for hiking. As a point to point trail, it encompasses just under 25 miles of near ridgeline travel. Though just an overnighter, it was full of variety and adventure!

Currently living through your hiking videos as I can’t drive to a hiking spot near me due to covid. Loved the video and editing!

Love seeing the Ed Abbey paperback, the last quarter or so of Desert Solitaire made a big impact on me. And his part about bikes, I liked that rant too;)

For the past 6 months I've slowly but surely been falling in love with hiking (especially alone), so this kind of video always makes my day! Thanks ✨ (found you through tip tap's videos)

Great video! And I find it refreshing that someone who lives in such a beautiful place doesn't take it for granted but stops to admire the scenery. Can I ask what you used to shoot the video? My phone is crap and I'm so old school, I still have my Olympus OM-1 film camera. But man, I've taken some great shots with that old heavy beast. And I have to thank you, Tip Tap and the 2020 AT thru hikers for getting me out walking in the woods. I'm seriously out of shape, uphill climbs may kill me, I'm not a fan of camping, but I'm having a blast. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing them.

I was born in St. Ignatious Montana. Lived outside of Columbia Falls until I was 12 then moved to Texas where I have been ever since. I want to move home so badly. Post more Montana hikes!

It looks like a beautiful area. I’ve never hiked outside of New England (New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut). I might have to take a vacation to hike out there in the next few years.

Love your videos, thank you for the entertainment! Any more thru hikes planned for the future?

@paulborash409 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I absolutely have a few hikes on the horizon that I'd like to do. As far as the triple crown trails are concerned, maybe the CDT, but not for a few years I imagine. I have so many things i want to experience before another 4-6 month commitment like another long trail.

If you enjoyed Desert Solitaire, read Abbey's fiction book Monkey Wrench Gang!

Yeah! Sadly I didnt get as much read as I had hoped. Well I really enjoyed pacific Crest trials when preparing for my thru hike. Also where the crawdads sing is good :)
