your subjective impressions! And the Bitterroot protectors shouldn't feel bad. If people think everything is covered in trees, they'll leave the range in peace :p. But your pictures are great, and those mountains do look plenty beautiful and rugged.
Thank you very much for the kind remarks. You actually have given me an idea-- write a scathing report about my favorite mountains so that maybe others will stay away!
OF COURSE you're welcome back, though next time I hope you arrive with your feet in better shape so we can tackle some truly back-country summits. Ready for some 16-18 miles round trip outings?
I'll be up for them. That Castle Crag certainly looks enticing, as do all those peaks in the Sheafman area you've been sharing with us here recently.
And whether the feet are in better shape or not, I will skip the Chacos unless there's absolutely no bushwhacking. They clearly worsened things on the Soda Springs day; when we did the Camas traverse and my feet were all bandaged and otherwise armored, I was really fine all day long in my boots.
This is a fun trip report, and your pictures are spectacular!
I am in awe of the Bitterroot Mountains and I truly appreciate the way you have portrayed them in this telling of your time spent here last summer. Perhaps we can get up North Trapper next time around!
Best Regards;
Tim
Wow, thanks for the insightful comments. It's always great to hear from empty profiles that contribute nothing to the site. Are you an avatar or just a troll?
Uh, yeah, I looked at Wastral's profile to try to see what about his trip reports were so superior to Bob Sihler's and I found...not a single contribution to the SP community in Wastral's profile.
Hey, Wastral. Perhaps you can be a team player and provide Bob some constructive criticism along with your low vote and hauty commentary.
Thank you for the words of support, Sarah. Unless this is a member hiding behind an avatar so he can freely criticize people, we probably have someone who is voting and commenting based on his feelings about the subject rather than the presentation or the information. Those types pop up from time to time...
Will do, and thanks. Actually, the smart thing might be to let others think they're boring anyway; I'm quite content with the empty mountains I usually find out there!
I have heard of them but have never been able to find much information on them beyond locating them on a map. Do you know a source that has good information on them?

Re: the treesThere's a lot out there, and I hope to get back. It's such a huge area that it's almost like its own country.
