Gallatin National Forest

This is the first video in a series called “24″ that will appear at Backpacking Light. The programs highlight trips taken by lightweight backpackers in 24 hours from door-to-door (e.g., the door of your home), and focus on the majesty of the areas visited and the experience of the “quickie” trip. This first trip was a short and quick trek up Hyalite Canyon (in the Gallatin National Forest ) to the head of the cirque where Hyalite Lake resides, taken on September 20-21, 2009 right before the fall equinox.
