Waldron Creek

I had been hunting the topo maps of the Rocky Mountain Front and found this place, just in front of Teton Pass Ski Area. It looked like a go, but I was not sure about it until I read a trip report by a blogger from Great Falls. The Rocky Mountain Front probably has some of the worst weather in Montana, and that means it also probably has some of the worst weather in America, but the morning I drove in was clear skies, no wind, a foot of fresh snow, and -16F. Someone had snowshoed in prior to this most recent storm, so for the first mile I had a faint track to follow. No worries, the canyon is simple to navigate, and within two hours I was into the open basin and gauging my line of ascent for Lockhart.
