Hidden Hills Fox Trotters

Montana: Bob Marshall Wilderness

Linda and Dare crossing the Packer Bridge near Benchmark *Linda and Dare in Grizzly Basin near the Chinese Wall* To the left, we see the beauty and grandeur that is the Bob Marshall Wilderness, located in Montana. The photo shows Linda Clark riding her Fox Trotter, Dare, across the "Packer Bridge" near Benchmark. And to the right, Linda and Dare are photographed again, this time in the Grizzly Basin near the Chinese Wall. One can see the diversity present in the natural surroundings of the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

The Chinese Wall (shown in the background of the photo on the left) is just one of the highlights of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Although the trails are not as steep and rigorous of the nearby Bitterroot National Forest, this trail will still provide both a relaxing weekend and a thorough exercise for your young Fox Trotter.

*Linda and Dare at the Chinese Wall* Although climbing is probably not permitted, the mountains of the Bob Marshall Wilderness provide a beautiful backdrop for the countless number of trees and vegetation growing across the plains. The sky extends for miles in every directions, and provides a marvelous display of color as the sun sets.

*Pete and his horses enjoy the Montana scenery* Pete Clark is shown to the left, admiring the intricate designs left by thousand of years of weather on the jagged faces of the Montana mountainsides. The juxtaposition of jagged rock and fertile soil creates a truly transcendental experience for riders, hikers, and drivers alike.
