Absaroka Beartooths 2026 (1)

A 7-day trip in September 2026 with my brother Jeremy and friend Harold.

We backpacked Great Falls Creek and Speculator Creek in the Montana Absarokas and then the Placer Basin and the West Fork of the Stillwater in the Beartooths. The weather was wonderful.


Day one was spent ascending the well-maintained Great Falls Creek trail.

Ready to start.


Harold enjoying a snack lunch - Spam had amazing restorative powers for him.



We were pretty exhausted when we made camp at the Upper Great Falls Creek Lake.
