Brings back memories of a trip I took there in 2002. We approached from Highway 24 and camped 3 nights downstream from Missouri Basin for two great days of peakbagging. On one day, we bushwhacked up Belford, then on to Oxford, then over to Missouri before heading back to camp (plus my buddy went up Iowa while I hung out by a lake). The next day we tagged Harvard and Columbia. On day 4, after hiking out, I drove direcly home to Ft. Collins to nurse some nasty blisters while my buddy drove over to Sherman for another summit before heading home to Utah. That is an awesome area...congrats on an epic day in the mountains!
