Overview

Hiking in the magnificent, glacially carved canyons of the Bitterroot Mountains are an experience unlike any other! As a expert trail guide who has hiked 1,000's of miles of trails across the US, this is my top choice for place to hike in the Summer in the US! The Bitterroot is home to amazing wildlife and scenery, and the best part? It's still relatively undiscovered! A "crowded" day on the trail is passing a dozen people! It's one of the best places in America to get away from the crowds without sacrificing the beauty and grandeur that you'd find in a National Park. With hundreds of trail options, there's something for everyone at every hiking skill level! The rental gear provided is all ultralight and in excellent condition. Hiking with bear spray is a must in the Bitterroot! Our rentals will save you the headache of buying and then having to inevitably ditch cans of bear spray before you get back on the plane! Our first aid kit and toiletries kit also help ensure you are prepared!
