ANOTHER HIKING OPPORTUNITY
Wendy and I have been talking about organizing another hike for anyone interested. Sunday hike to Our Lake (aka Hidden Lake) in the Bob. We’ll have to leave a bit on the early side, trailhead is near Choteau.
Should be gorgeous views. There are two big waterfalls on the hike and often mountain goats on trail. Dogs OK as long as they are under owners control. 7 mile loop with only 1,500 foot elevation gain on the entire hike. Wendy and I will both have bear spray. Recommended for everyone in that area.
Let me or Wendy know if anyone is interested. I did put it out there on the hiking group FB page, also. Wendy and I will go regardless.

P.S. For anyone joining us on the Our Lake hike this Sunday, July 18, meet at my house (315 4th Ave N) at 7am. It’s about a 2 hour drive to the trailhead.
Please bring your 10 essentials and lunch. There should be a few opportunities to refill water bottles if you have water filtration equipment. Otherwise, bring enough water for a 7 mile hike.
Plan on leaving for the trailhead at 7, starting hiking at 9 and returning to the trailhead about 3pm.
