Backpacking Idaho's Gospel-Hump Wilderness : Chittam Creek & Sheep Creek Attempt

Here is our snowy ascent and 2 night camp on Black Butte from a few years ago: • Backpacking Idaho's Go...
Late March / Early April
This was an attempt to go past the Black Butte Junction to Sheep Creek but I forgot to pack gaiters and the snow got deep and our feet started to freeze in the poor weather so we back tracked and camped at Chittam Creek and awakened to fresh snow.
Despite the snow I should note that this is a very low snow year.

Thank you Andrew! I never post but wanted to let you know I always watch yours and Lacey’s trips and enjoy them thoroughly. Love the shots and editing that goes into these. Keep on getting out there and be careful 🙏 Oh! Love the owl and the flock of birds! Those were amazing shots❤

Enjoyed it......I think I mentioned this a while back but I really love the Gospel~Hump Wilderness. Rugged, not always user friendly, but what a great area to explore. Both times I was there I went in south of Elk City around Oregrande. Not easy to get to but I hardly saw a soul once I crossed into the wilderness area itself. Despite everything, you took some great scenery shots and you had a real nice campsite! Tom

Beautiful views. Still a little bit of snow up there. Gotta have that plan B and sometimes C and D. Thanks for sharing.

always look forward to your videos. your theme is typically remote, lesser known with few humans which i also look for on my backpack trips. you mentioned your resolve to probably never go to the enchantments. there are routes that can get you into that area (if not the core) which are seldom traveled, although can be difficult (non-technical) on limited time. i'll look for you on the trail and we can compare notes.
