My brother, Jake and cousins Lena and Madi and I hiked Trapper Peak the other day. Two words come to mind when I think of it: Wow! Ouch!
The hike started out with a non-gradual, instantly painful, almost perfectly vertical climb and it only got less steep two times the whole day! But the pain was worth the views. We had a blast together. An intense feeling of accomplishment overcame us when we were finally standing on the top together overlooking our Montana that we all treasure!
