Trip Dates:	09/03/2010 to 09/12/2010
Location:	Rocky Mountain Front, Bob Marshall Wilderness
Work:	Get out one last time for a fantastic fall trip before the season ends! Join us for a week in of the most scenic spots on the Rocky Mountain Front. Nestled at the base of the Scapegoat Massif, Halfmoon Park is a photographer’s paradise! We will tackle this hike in 2 days, with an overnight at a Forest Service cabin on the way in and out. We’ll set up camp at almost 7000’ and enjoy terrific views as we work on the trail. We’ll focus on drainage by installing small trenches and waterbars in the trail to channel runoff in this steep rocky country. Spend your day off exploring or just kick back and enjoy the view right from camp! Don’t forget your camera! Once you submit your registration to BMWF, you will receive more detailed project information including a suggested packing list and driving directions. This is a backcountry camping trip with a primitive campsite. You will be asked to provide your own gear and assist in camp chores. Sturdy boots, long pants and work gloves are required. All tools, safety gear and food will be provided.
