Rogers Pass

CDT Montana 2016

Day 27, August 1, Monday

Start 22-045M 2.3 miles beyond Flesher Pass

Stop Rogers Pass 22-249AP and then hitch 20 miles to Lincoln.

Miles walked: 11 .5

Haze from some forest fire still marks the sky.

We can see trail far ahead as travel continues on exposed ridges

A river river valley below is just at the proper angle that we can see far along its length.

From the heights we can start to look down to Rogers Pass.

Walking last set of switchbacks takes the better part of an hour.

Lincoln has the reputation of a tough hitch, but I got a ride quickly. The guy was really nice, a computer network professional who works in a bar.

No southbounders seen today. I will not mention these hikers again unless I start seeing some more.
