This is the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness page. The photo gallery shows my greeting card collection for this wilderness.
The SBW is my favorite area of backcountry travel, having been traipsing around in it since 1965.
Presently and since the winter of 2014, I continue to be restricted in my travels in the SBW as I attempt to travel the 990 miles of Montana and Idaho’s portion of the Continental Divide, during the winter. If this spurs your interest, I have some chapters you can read out of my book Inaccessible, the story of my nearly fatal four CDT “scouting trips” inside Glacier National Park during the winter of 2011. The two excerpts are located on my Blog page.
To be clear, the remote Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness is important to me. It is where I cut my teeth on wilderness travel. Without the decades of experience in this rugged and remote wilderness, there is a good chance the winter Continental Divide trip would be un-survivable, which, based on the last four winters, increasingly appears to be the case anyway.
On July 4th, 2023, Carleen, Kramer, Zac and myself revisited an area of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho, bushwhacking for most of the five days we were out there. This 12 minute video is the first in a series of four.
