Wild Things
Montana's boreal toads are intrepid travelers, known to wander for miles from their breeding grounds. They've been seen in the Great Bear Wilderness the Little Belts, and even 1,500 feet above any water in Glacier National Park.

Grub
The majority of my camp-cooking focus is spent on dinner, where the key is selecting a carb-loaded base and pairing it with a flavorful sauce. I avoid pasta like the plague, because without a big pot of water at a rolling boil, it's guaranteed to be a soggy mess. Rice—particularly brown rice—is much better.

Head Trip
Under a smoky gauze of September sky, I wedged my back into the cold, dihedral, dangled my legs over a narrow ledge and peered 4,000 feet down to the V-necked bottom of Coal Creek. Mount Doody, sharp as a wolf's tooth, stood directly across the way. I shuddered and forced a deep breath. This was all wrong.

My wife, Megan, our friend Doug Casey and I were setting out on a 65-mile packraft adventure through the heart of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, including a 10-mile paddle down Youngs Creek and a spectacular grand finale: a 38-mile float down the South Fork of the Flathead River. But it was the first part of the journey that had me worried.

The Crux
I didn't climb higher than Jumbo's "L" for the first 15 years of my Missoula residency. I didn't want to achieve the peak and see more mountains. Then one spring day I continued on to the top.

Head Trip
The Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway carried me deeper into the valley between the high, jagged eastern peaks and timbered, gently sloping West Pioneers, meandering past flowered meadows wet with streams, grassland ranges speckled with livestock, and thick lodgepole forests. The mountains captivated me—I knew I couldn't be satisfied with just one bike trip. I needed to get into them, on foot.
