Four days of winter travel, camp craft, and brotherhood in the Beartooths. We meet in Gardiner, convoy to Cooke City (no cell service once we’re in), and head into the wilderness towing sleds. If the approach turns brutal, we pivot and cache sleds along the Beartooth Highway — the trip still runs.
Temps can hit -20°F. This is the extreme end of cold camping: haul your own kit, sleep in it, cook simple, and practice the habits that keep a small team moving when everything is frozen. Not a lodge trip. Built for men who want the hard version and the crew that goes with it.
Winter travel skills advised.
