Hike Description:

alpineThis one is for visual artists who want to take their passion a little farther — and carry it on their back. Plan for 5 days and four nights in the Scotchman “outback” with ample time to paint, draw or sketch between some gnarly cross-country backpacking. Our plan this year is a foray into the West Fork of Blue Creek to the vicinity of Scotchman II for a look at a little lake not many folks visit.

This is a strenuous adventure with a limited number of spaces. Artists should be prepared to carry all the food and gear necessary for a four night stay in the back country as well as supplies with which to paint, draw or otherwise capture the beauty of the wildest part of the Scotchman Peaks.
