Scotchman Peak Hike 9/17-18 2011


Friday we drove to Clark Fork ID and overnighter at the trailhead to Scotchman Peak, the highest point in Bonners County, 7020'. Last year we attempted this peak but had to abort when one of the boys had a problem.

This year we succeed. We had a hearty breakfast of eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns. We took down camp and stowed it in the trucks and were at the trailhead by 8:30. It was a 10mile hike and we gained 3800' of elevation. It worked us. The boys did trail repair and we had some first aid instruction along the way.
