Gros Ventre Wilderness, Day 2/3
Channel: TrailheadTracks
Date: 28/08/2021

This was the second, and very short day.  I was not enjoying it much and in hindsight, should have taken a rest day at Shoal Lake - what a beautiful spot.  But I pushed on...

The Gros Ventre River drainage was challenging.  Trails get very little use and are mostly maintained by the elk.  As I mentioned, route finding can be difficult.  In addition to loads of elk sign, there was loads of bear sign.  Grizzlies are thick in here.  I did not see elk or bears, but wow - they are here.

It was very hazy from all the smoke from the western fires, limiting visibility throughout the trip.  At times, even the mountains right next to me were somewhat obscured.  You can notice this in this segment, and likely the Day 3 video that will follow.

So, if you made it this far, thank you!  Hang around for day 3.  It is much more engaging with some beautiful views.
