Wilderness Trekking III ~ October 2007

Photo documentary of Backpacking Light's Wilderness Trekking III Course, October 9-15, 2007 Montana & Wyoming.

Pilot Peak
Pilot Peak, the "Matterhorn of the Absaroka Range", is the most obvious landmark viewed from the Beartooth Plateau. It's a critical triangulation point, and failure of both groups to accurately map its location (it was not marked on our maps) proved costly in terms of their ability to fix a position after Day 2.
