THE BOB MARSHALL WILDERNESS COMPLEX

Exploring Montana’s beautiful backcountry.

In Montana, when we really want to “get away from it all” and explore Montana’s backcountry, we head to a place we lovingly refer to as “The Bob.” The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex is the third-largest wilderness area in the lower 48 and on the traditional lands of the Blackfeet, Salish and Kootenai tribes. These 1.5 million acres of pristine wilderness straddle the Continental Divide and offer a chance to truly escape into the deep backcountry. It’s important to find the exploration route that suits your skill level and scratches your particular adventure itch: Embark on a pack trip, a backcountry hiking trip, a drop-camp or drop-float trip, a fly-fishing trip, or a hunting trip. Get away from it all, entering an area with more than 1,000 miles of trails across jagged peaks, mountain lakes, sparkling streams and wide-open spaces, and experience nature at its finest. Our advice? Go with a guide.
