Looking for some suggestions for an early September trip in the northern Rockies. Buddies and I do an annual "big trip" of 8-10 days and this year that's where we want to be.
We went through all the planning and steps to get a Glacier NP permit. Finally got notice last week and we're not very pleased with the itinerary so we're looking elsewhere. I put a lot of hours into planning for GNP, so I'm back to square one and just looking for somewhere to start. The part of Yellowstone we were going to use as a backup is closed to overnight backpacking that time of year. Sawtooths? Selway-Bitterroot? Bob Marshall?
3-4 guys. Strong backpackers, but not going for 30 mile days or speed records or anything like that. Good fishing is preferred. Big views. Wildlife. All the things that make a trip a "life list" kind of trip.
Any suggestions on where to start digging is appreciated!
