READY FOR ANOTHER JEW CREW HIKE ON SATURDAY, JULY 30?

Join us on Saturday, July 30th, for a hike to Our Lake near Bynum! If you have never been, it is spectacular.

If you are from Great Falls and want to either carpool or caravan, meet at the Smiths Parking Lot near the gas stations (and come a few minutes early if you need gas) at 715 AM. It is about a 1 hr 45 minute drive so plan on the hike starting at 9. Bring the usual – water, snacks, lunch, sunscreen, etc. From some of the recent reviews there are bugs so maybe bring bug spray.

It is a 7 mile hike and according to all trails it should take about 3 1/2 hours. Some of us are slower than others and there will be stops, so plan on probably 5 hours of hiking.

If you are from Helena, you can either meet us in Great Falls or at the trailhead at about 9 AM. I can get you directions or if you have all trails, look for OUR LAKE and there will be directions on the app. If you are meeting us at the trailhead, let me know ahead of time so we know to wait for people there. If I don’t hear from you we will plan on taking off right around 9.

Hope to see you there!
