​North Lost Horse Canyon. Bitterroot Mountains. July 2022.

​We finally set out for a hike up North Lost Horse to see what we could see from the ground. (We've overlooked this canyon from above on previous hikes up to Kidney Lake Crags and the top of East Camas Peak.) We weren't sure how far we'd be able to get, as we were expecting the trail to not be very well maintained and to eventually peter out.

​The trail had some serious incline for a little ways in the beginning, but was in decent condition at that point. As the elevation gain lessened, the trail became quite overgrown and rough. We eventually had lunch in a rock field, filtered more water at the creek, and turned around when we got tired of bushwacking our way through the jungle with no destination in sight.

While not my ideal hike, nor one I would tend to recommend, we did have some nice views and got in a couple hours of fun exercise while marking another trail off my list. :)

Smoky skies are a normal part of wildfire season here in western Montana. It really changes our views (and air quality), but this is a good day, when we can still see some of the mountains. We did go home to increasing smoke and floating ash later in the evening. And although our fire season did start extra early this year, we've experienced much worse in past years. Time will tell what the rest of fire season has in store for us.

This was our view looking further west in the Lost Horse area a couple of days ago. The views were quite diminished from what we usually see here, but still incredibly awesome. Along with the smoky skies, we also had some fierce wind at the overlook. We certainly didn't hang out waiting for a tree to blow down on us! It was time to scoot.

Getting out our map and compass helped us to identify a couple more distant peaks to the southwest.

We enjoyed a picnic lunch with sunshine, wind, and beautiful views earlier this month at Lost Horse Observation Point. Afterwards, we headed down south of Darby for a hike up Tin Cup. Photos from that part of the day to come in another post. :)

My family and I love the many spires, crags, and rock outcrops we see on our mountain excursions. This one sits up on the northern ridge of Lost Horse Corridor. When it first caught my attention standing on the ridge by itself in such a stately manner, it reminded me of a castle. We might need to plan a trip to get up to this one someday. :)
