Thinking about backpacking Montana’s Chinese Wall? We share our 68-mile experience through the Bob Marshall Wilderness, favorite moments, and what surprised us most.
Join us for a fall backpacking adventure through golden larch forests, with fishing, camping, and a little route-finding along the way.
