Looking for partners to hike in Idaho and beyond

Steve, we might be a good fit for certain trips.    I’m fit and experienced in general terms, no technical climbing skills but I’m comfortable up to easy 4th-class terrain and I generally prefer heading off trail.

I don’t live locally to you – I’m in the process of buying a house in Santa Fe – but I’m planning to spend a lot more time doing trips to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming etc.    I just got back from my first trip to the Winds last week (my trip report is on the front page).

I tend to favor 5-8 day trips that allow you to get into remote areas but still traveling light, and I often struggle to find partners who are willing to take that much time away from annoying things like jobs or family.    I do enjoy hiking alone, but I’d like to find more regular partners for remote trips into difficult terrain, and also because I want to start investigating the backcountry of places like Yellowstone & Glacier where the wildlife makes things dangerous for a solo hiker.

I’ll shoot you a pm with my contact details.

Y’all can keep me in mind. I’m fit enough, I guess (just finished a 90-mile trek in Idaho, getting ready to do the Bailey Range Traverse in the Olympics in late September if the weather holds). Love 5-8 day trips. Happy to travel to Idaho/Montana/Wyoming (I enjoyed Ralph’s trip report enough to order my own maps of the Winds). And I have a pretty open schedule.

I live in Southcentral Washington and look for partners as well for primarily Eastern Washington.

Hey guys, guess I’m late to the thread, but sounds like you might be interested in a trip I’m planning. Planning to do the 80-mile Wind River High Route late August / early September (6-7 days hiking, planning on shuttling from JAC airport to the start @ Green River Lakes trailhead on 8/28, but flexible!). Looking to build out a group to hike & split the shuttle. Let me know!
