In your OP you must have meant something other than Belly River. North Fork, Bowman or Kintla maybe?
You're absolutely right. I looked at a map and realized I was mixing up two hikes I contemplated a couple years ago. One was Waterton to Hole in the Wall, and the other was Belly River to Waterton. Another problem with relying on my memory, is that I probably calculated the distance in case I missed the boat.
Anyway, thanks for the quick replies (and photo Heff). So, do you guys have any feel for if the trail is passible on July 9th at 6:42 am? (grin.) I took a look at the trail status and they've already erased last year's data on when things opened. I don't mind hiking in snow as long as it's not high angle or snow bridges over water. So, is early July out of the question and mid-July questionable? I've had a quest for this spot going for a few years.
Thanks,
Jay
