Project Description

On this trip we will be joining forces with Here Montana for our Wilderness 101 Weekend Campout. We will learning about how trails are maintained in Wilderness spaces. We will be giving you a run down on Wilderness basics and backcountry camping. The first optional night will have an instruction on setting up a front-country campsite and how to stay safe in bear country. The second day we will be hiking into the Scapegoat Wilderness and putting what we’ve learned to the test. Join us Friday afternoon or Saturday morning for the camp in thru Sunday afternoon. Full itinerary TBA! Reach out to us if you have any questions about this trip and wanted more information before signing up (contact erynn@bmwf.org and info@heremt.org)
