Bannack

CDT Montana 2016

Day 8, July 13, Wednesday.

Start 05-327WT near Sheep Creek

Stop 06-145M along Nicholie Creek

Miles on trail: 26

Interesting rocky mountains come into view that we may pass.

The trail comes to Bannack Pass.

This is somewhat confusing, since we will cross Bannock Pass (note difference in spelling) in a couple of days or so.

I meet the hiker Knees going south.

Deadman Lake

At Nicholia Creek Bridge I have done roughly 25 miles, which was a goal DNA mentioned, so I wonder if he will appear soon.

Later I go along Nicolie Creek a couple of miles, looking for a good campsite among trees, and finally settling for an exposed site near the creek.
