sphinx mountain, montana, car camp and hike - September 15, 2023
Let's go do the Sphinx (10,876 feet) and probably add in the Helmet. These peaks are near Ennis, Montana, about 360 miles from SLC. The Sphinx is about 12 miles round trip and about 4000 feet elevation gain. To add on the Helmet only adds about another mile and 500 more feet of gain. This is a very steep hike with a bunch of scrambling. This is also Grizzley bear country so be prepared. Plan to drive up on Friday, hike on Saturday, head home on Sunday. We'll meet at the undeveloped Bear Creek campground (outhouse only). Must register with me at my email - no texts please. More details will be distributed later to registrants. Limit of 8. Contact Dennis if you have any questions.
