Dean

Ah Choteau

Voted 10/10

Funny how a name brings nostalgia. My mom grew up in the Fairfield -Choteau area and I've made several trips there to see family. Thanks to this nice page, the next time I go there I can head for the mountains, literally. Good work as usual Bob.

Glad you were able to do this, Bob...

...as when I did it a year ago, weather conditions prohibited enough photos to justify a page. When I get back from next week's sojourn to GNP (!), I'll go through what pictures came out of the trip, and see if there are some worth attaching to the page.

I have a page for it attached to the Bob Marshall page. You hike to Our Lake, head for the pass west of the lake, and then scramble southeast to the summit. Up top, you get in-your-face views of Rocky Mountain and Old Baldy. Good luck with your quest for the Sawtooth Peaks. I plan to be out there again next summer to explore some of the trailless drainages and unnamed peaks.
