A Montana Bachelor Party Float Trip
Hey y’all! After a week chilling out in Idaho after Iceland, we’re on the road in the Sprinter. This time, it’s for a van road trip I’ve wanted to do forever.
After some fun in NW Montana, we’re exploring western Canada for a month of pedaling and hiking. On the list are Waterton, Fernie, Banff, Jasper, Golden, Revelstoke, Whistler, Squamish,Vancouver Island, and more. Got tips on favorite spots, hikes, or mountain bike trails? Please drop me a line!
We kicked off the road trip with four days of Montana wedding antics in Helena and Butte for a good buddy. Part of that was a float trip down the Missouri River with 15 rowdy and hilarious fellers.
The video tells the story best! More antics from the wilds of Montana and Canada coming soon…
Onward!
Enjoying a forest-fire-fueled sunset in Montana. In the valley behind us were 80 elk grazing away. Van road tripping sure is awesome sometimes!
Dakota,
Most of the visitor centers have great pocket maps that we pay $10 for in the states – really well laid out.
From our recent trip
MTB:
Rossland -Seven Summits (IMBA Classic) – Redtop
Nelson – Svoboda
Invermere – some good loops up towards the mountain around The Johnson Trail/Kloosifier (and boon docking spots)
Jasper – Overlander (Camp at Snaring River if you can and ride to the trailhead, 10k warm up and then ride to town. Great views) Lots of decent smaller loops to keep you occupied. Try Patricia St. Deli for a killer sandwich afterwards… Lots of bears on the trails..
Valemount
Hike:
Jasper – Whistlers Mountain. it’s a work out.
Mt.Robson – Berg Lake, 21KM overnighter but well worth it. Need to reserve permits.
Enjoy man and catch you somewhere along the way.
Yessss. Thanks for the beta. Just hiked our butts off in Glacier/Waterton and now it’s onto some MTB action!
