Hey All,
Just got back from the Marble Mountains, was in there for the Archery Blacktail Opener. The 3 boys....... Buckwheat, Spanky, and Hershey did very well on the hike. It was 6 miles in, and about 2,000 feet of elevation gain. We hiked from Let-er-Buck trailhead, to Monument Lake. The packers both had about 20 pounds on them for the hike in, and 30 for the hike out. They had some panting and tongue sticking out climbs, but overall seemed to enjoy the experience. At camp they climbed the granite cliffs, eating and resting with a gorgeous view. I wish I could get them to carry more, hopefully they are able to get stronger with the more hikes. It was an unsuccessfull hunt, but still a lot of fun
