Beyond the Beaten Path // Hiking Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains

The Beaten Path traverses the prettiest river gorge in Montana, yet is just a part of this week-long hike through Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The Beartooth Mountains encompass a stunning terrain, and Granite Peak is its crown jewel. Join five friends on an eighty-plus mile backing trip through this remarkable landscape, culminating with a summit attempt of Granite Peak, Montana's highpoint. Trips of this scope push individuals to new levels...and we would each experience a transcendent moment that would remain with us long past the trip's end. Join us on this adventure of a lifetime, with its full range of laughter, arguments, tears -- and ultimately, one where Mother Nature has the final say. 0:00 Intro 1:42 Acclimatizing 7:12 The Beaten Path 11:38 Phantom Creek/High Camp 14:39 Froze to Death Plateau 18:20 Granite Peak 20:21: Retreat 23:39: Theme 24:25 Outtake
