Hike Scotchman Peak

Hike Scotchman Peak

This iconic hike is a challenge to strive for. I recommend hiking some 2000 foot climb trails to prepare for this adventure. The following link from All Trails gives a good description and also a nice 3d preview. We could find goats who will look fine with their new coats for the winter. We will meet at Super 1 Hayden and have a stop at the Clark Fork Pantry prior to starting the hike.
