Directions to Meeting Location:
We will meet at the Sandy Compton's home at 124 MT Highway 200, Heron, MT; 9 miles east of Clark Fork, Idaho, and 11 miles west of the intersection of Montana 56 and Montana 200. Coming from the west, it is the first driveway to the right after Milepost 1. Coming from the east, it's the first drive to the left after Blue Creek Road. Hikers will carpool to the trail head — which could vary depending on the snow coverage.
Hike Description:Join Sandy Compton in his “backyard” and Juli Thurston, as they lead you on a walk on the wild side in the Blue Creek watershed area. This is an area that has historically provided winter trackers with discoveries ranging from the tiny trails of mice to the post-holes that moose leave and other mega-fauna that might even EAT a moose. It’s fun and exciting to parse out who we are sharing the trails with.
Bring a good lunch, plenty of fluids, snacks, rain gear, extra insulative layers, your camera, binoculars and a sense of adventure & humor.
Afterwards we will travel to the Silvertip Junction to warm up, play wildlife bingo and enjoy some hot chocolate!
This is event is on January 24th, 10am-2pm Montana Time (9am-1pm Idaho Time)
