Best of the West

[Steve-o]

The Maroon Bells 4 pass loop is now, officially, the best backpack I've done, to date. Better than the Wind River Range and better than the Grand Canyon. So take that.
You should check it out !

Second that. Plus the Columbias, the Selkirks, the Bugaboos etc of BC.

Takes a geologist to figure out where the Rockies end/Columbias begin.

Banff is on the radar but, may just have to invite more friends to make it a legal B-Pack.

Good point. If you're in grizz country, more is better. And if the trail is posted for grizz, there's a minimum group size ('em bears are hungry...)

The Four (P)Asses loop (that's what we called it) was pretty sweet, but then... a month later did a five-day loop in Sequoia National Park that I think, may, just may have topped it. It's all good!

Sue where is the like button when you need it! Did you name it that because of your beasts of burden or the company you kept?

Keep all the pictures and tr's coming, they make me jealous as heel but long for a trip out west someday!
