Wilderness Trekking III ~ October 2007

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

Top of the World
The Beartooth Highway, our starting point about 10 miles south from where this photo was taken, is nicknamed "Top of the World Highway". At a crest of 10,900+ feet, it's one of the highest scenic roads in the United States. Here, our crew is trekking near 12,000 feet on the Beartooth Plateau, with dramatic drops to both sides, giving the feeling that one really is on top of the world.
