Rattlesnake Ramble Night Hike with the Montana Dirt Girls

Let’s head to the Rattlesnake for our first true night hike!

It’s dark in the evenings now, so don’t forget your headlamp!

We will meet at 6:00 pm Tuesday, November 3 at the main Rattlesnake Trailhead, then hike up Spring Gulch to Curry, over to Sawmill Gulch, and back to the parking lot along Ewok.

This loop is around 5.5 miles and ~800’ elevation gain.

Those who prefer a shorter hike can do the shorter loop on Spring Gulch.

Items to Bring:
Water, snacks, headlamp, bear spray, layers, grippers (once the snow flies)

General Stuff:
*Try to get the group started soon after 6:00 pm
* Do intros, ask if we have any new folks and get a head count
* Break into groups if needed & find someone to coordinate each group
* You don’t have to be the fastest in the group to lead but just make sure we don’t leave someone behind
* Have fun!

Notes for Hikes:
Geared to an intermediate level of exertion. We gather up at each turn in the trail to keep us headed in the right direction. The only time we will spread out will be on out and back trails. Well-behaved dogs can attend but check the regs for the trails first.
