Tamarack Lake | Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, Montana

I'm once again setting out with Kenny, The Idahonian! We're heading into the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness for the first time!

Welcome to Central Montana! One minute it can be sunny and 90° and in 15 minutes it can drop to 60° with rain or hail. I always brought a jacket with me whatever the weather. I grew up in the north central on the Hi-Line. Now we live in the northern Idaho Panhandle and ❤ it!

Warms my heart to see Timber on 17:14. My Lab mix passed on the 30th 💔. He was 18 and a great trail dog like Timber. His last big hike was 2 years ago.

I can think of no better location for a siesta than that second lake. What an awesome adventure! The views and landscape are just incredible and I’m so glad you shared it Travis. Thank you

Well, that was more exciting than you wanted it to be for a while there! Glad to see the old Superfly held up to the battering. And once again, y'all are traipsing around some beautiful country.

What beautiful country and those hail storms were no joke. Thanks for another outstanding video and take care, Al

Good to see you made it out for a multi-day trek. Almost needed a hardhat for that start...then a rain hat...then a suit of armor at camp. Been caught in pea-size hale high up on the Colorado Trail but nothing like that. Beautiful destinations! Enjoyed the vicarious hike along with you!

Pretty much had it all on that trip....hail, rain, sunshine, etc. Nice looking lakes you guys stayed at. Thanks for posting.

Hail on a lake ...that was a cool shot. Some definite beautiful golden hour shots in there for sure. Hail Yeah!

awesome outing travis! holy christ that hail looked like it was beyond the real deal

[ChristianPaulPhotography]

Awesome adventure! That’s some beautiful wilderness! That hail storm at your first camp was super gnarly! 😱 Carp Lake was pretty sweet! Thanks for taking us along! 🥾⛰️

What an incredible hail storm, Travis. I'm glad you Kenny and Timber survived it, I hope your truck wasn't damaged. After that it seemed like you had good weather, nice sunsets and beautiful campsites. Thanks for sharing and happy trails.

Another great video. Outside the Midwest, I think I’ve only seen hailstones that big once when I was a kid. Being caught in a burn area during a storm would be a little nerve racking. Not so much because of the hail, but I wouldn’t want to be amongst all those snags when the wind picked up. At the same time, few things are more awe inspiring than a good mountain thunder storm.

I’ve been wanting to visit that area for a while. Glad there are still some nice pockets of green. Those lakes are gorgeous.

That footage of the hail hitting the water was cool. That's good the weather cleared up. Looks like it was an awesome adventure!

Cool storm! Love your videos too. Keep it up and have a sip of whiskey for me.

[valwentz]

Free ice! Perfect for mountain drinks;)

Travis, we've missed you!! Great video, thank you so much for sharing!! We're looking forward to the next one!

[theidahonian]

Only a true outdoorsman could survive weather like that.

Yet another cinema gem. Love your work.
Miss the country.

You've got to love the Anaconda's! We went to Tamarack lake a few days after you were there. Johnson and Carpp lakes are nice but get busy especially on the weekends. I always enjoy your videos!

What kinda luck is that to be walking through burnt trees during a hail storm 😅 Awesome video

Hello new friend nice to meet you. Absolutely beautiful.
