Superior Mt to Avery Id through Snow Peak WMA - 07/28/2018

[Kurt Hoffman]

I'll have to do some recon for this one. Right now snow is still blocking the IDBDR from the Blue Cabin to Avery in the IDBDR, which would make a sweet and most direct return trip for me.

I was up that way about a week ago. There was still quite a bit of snow up top. Sounds like a great trip. Kurt

I was on Bullion Pass which I assume will be the same elevation.

Added to calendar. Might make this one.

 

[britz]

Not

I was on Bullion Pass which I assume will be the same elevation.

Right on, Good to know, but it was definitely still snowed in earlier this week. Not just the elevation, there's a hairpin after the blue cabin that is the last area to melt off every year. That's why the Lolo Motorway takes so long, shade and north face.

The snow is clearing out earlier than last year, so I'll make a quick run up after the Silver Lake trip.

I'm going to do my best to make this one. Probably myself, a kid and 1 of the dogs. We are in the process of purchasing a new home so there is a chance that something could come up that keeps us home. Looking forward to a good trip.

My wife, our puppy and I would like to make this trip. Just wondering if the trail is too narrow for a tundra?

You’ll have no trouble at all. Glad to have you along.

Might be tight, as I'm getting off a plane Friday evening. I could always be the straggler! I went from Superior to Avery with the family on the #282 last year, would this be a similar route? Very curious the trail as I am not familiar with table camp.

Sorry, I meant the Fh-50 and NF-388

 

[Captain Chaos]

We’ll be taking NF 320.

@Captain Chaos - is that Pilot station you speak of a Town Pump With a Lucky Lils? Ill probably camp around Hoodoo Pass to get there at 8, and would hate to be sitting at the wrong joint. When I Google Pilot travel center, the TP keeps popping up.

 

[justjohnthomas]

Looks like a good trip, will have to see if we can make and sign up.

Hey Justin, I'll be going the backwoods route up the 250 rd from Pierce to Superior, find a spot to crash then meet the crew in Superior. After the group hits Avery, I'll pop on the IDBDR section back to the cabin, looks like enduros and atvs are pushing through now, should be clear in 2 weeks. You're more than welcome to caravan. The debris slide on Black Canyon isn't bad, an old Dodge hauling a double axle trailer made it over when I was there yesterday.

Hey Britz looks like you’re still leading the pack! Have fun!

Awesome, I'll be in touch and probably take you up on that if I can make the trip. Beautiful drive over Hoodoo. The fiancee is seeing if she has to work that weekend. What time Friday were you planning on leaving? I'll see if I can get off early.

Hey Dale! I didn’t know you were on here!

It's looking like I'll be able to make it. This will be my first group trip and looking forward to it. I'll be coming from Bozeman and was wondering if there was a group of folks that would be interested in camping around Superior that Friday night...mostly because I don't feel like leaving here before 4am. I'm not really familiar with this part of the state yet.

I believe @britz is going to camp there on Friday. Glad you can make it.

 

[britz]

Yeah, I plan on camping around the Hoodoo Pass Friday night, then dropping down into civilization in the morning. I'm driving the route tomorrow for another run and will scope out a few areas; will report at the end of the weekend.
