BACKPACKING THE BOB | The Bob Marshall Wilderness

Beautiful

I did a very similar hike (solo) in July 2020, though I continued North to Gates Park and then West up Rock Creek until I hit the CDT and 'the wall'. Then I came back East past Indian Point and out to the Benchmark Trail Head. Awesome hike. Had a scare just before Bear Creek when I startled a sow Grizzly and her cub foraging through some rotting logs along the trail. She reared up on her hind legs and then took off. They were about 25-50 yards away from me. Needless to say, that spurred me on to continue hiking a few extra miles. I think I camped around Whiskey Creek my first night; about 14 miles in from Benchmark.

That sounds like a great hike/route. I'm thinking of returning to the Bob and doing a longer hike, basically a figure 8, with Gates Park in the middle of the 8, and heading up Rock Creek to the Wall from there. Good to hear nobody was harmed in your bear encounter. That must have been a real scare though.

Thanks for watching. Hopefully you'll get out to the Bob. It's a great place to hike. Cheers.

You don't have to boil the water?

I filter any water that I consume ... with my BeFree 1-litre water filter/bottle.
