Description

One of our most iconic tours, this guided hiking trip takes guests to the crowning jewel of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex—the Chinese Wall. A sheer limestone escarpment, the southern portion of the wall is 13 miles long (and is part of the longer nearly 40-mile-long wall) and is one of the most jaw-dropping places in the West. Trip highlights include blue-ribbon trout streams (ideal for fly-fishing and freshwater swims), a visit to a historic fire lookout, an opportunity to stand on top of the Chinese Wall and take in the views, the Moose Creek Drainage and the North Fork of the Sun River.

This trip is ideal for those wanting to see the iconic Chinese Wall while adding a few stunning side trips along the way.  This is also the perfect trip for those seeking to further their Montana natural history knowledge. Most hiking days are between 10 and 12 miles, and the route is almost a complete loop, allowing us to move through new country each day and really take in the immensity of this remarkable geologic structure.

Trip Rating Definitions


 

Moderate

  • 6 – 10 mile travel days with some of those days requiring changes in elevation of 500 – 1500 ft. over several miles. Short portions of route may be off-trail.


Moderately Difficult

  • 8 – 12+ mile travel days with regular change in elevation totaling 2,500 feet, or more, over several miles. Off-trail hiking and routing finding with short portions of limited exposure possible.


Strenuous

  • 7 – 12+ mile travel days with regular changes in elevation over a few miles. Frequent off-trail hiking over uneven terrain with areas of exposure and route finding may be involved.


*Please note these descriptions are used for travel days only and are our attempt to provide a rating for the overall trip difficulty. On layover days we will offer optional hiking opportunities that may not be in keeping with the rest of the trip difficulty rating.


Additionally, changes in elevation are meant to represent the days’ starting and ending elevations, but not necessarily the total elevation lost and gained throughout the course of the day. If you have questions or concerns regarding trip difficulty and your abilities, please contact us.
