In this video, we built two toboggan luge tracks in the middle of Montana’s backcountry. On the second day, we lit up the track for some night sledding. Join us for a fun winter adventure!

We made a quinzee! Quinzees are snow shelters made from a large pile of snow that is shaped and then hollowed out. It took us 4 days to make this one. Most of that time was spent piling snow. If you can already find a snow pile big enough, it will take off a significant amount of time. Ps: check out our YouTube channel (Backyard Montana) for current and future videos.

What if we just went up and over?

A question that turned into one of our favorite fall adventures. Golden larches, alpine fishing, and one more night in the mountains before winter settles in.

The full adventure is now on our YouTube channel BackyardMontana.

Solo getaways have yet to disappoint. by @backyardmontana

A failed mountain quest, but the trip still delivered a ridge-top dinner and a few unexpected finds along the way. #montana #backyardmontana by @backyardmontana

When the mountains have other plans for you, you just have to roll with it. Thunderstorms changed our plans throughout this backpacking trip, but a surprise weather window gave us a chance at one of them. What followed was one of the rarest and most memorable wildlife encounters we’ve ever had.

Making the most of a short Montana autumn. Not every fall outing needs to be a big one. Sometimes it’s packing up dinner to enjoy at a nearby picnic area in hopes of hearing an elk bugle in the distance. This is one of several ideas we put together for embracing the season before winter settles in.

“What if we just went up and over?” - This is what hyperphagia for the alpine sounds like. We’d wanted to explore this area for years, but the prospect of a miserable bushwhack never let it surface high on the list. A few days before the weekend arrived, we looked at the map and had the thought: what if we just went up and over?

The way out of the Beartooths: still dodging thunderstorms and reroutes that became part of the adventure. Part 2 of our backpacking trip is now on our YouTube channel. #BackyardMontana by @backyardmontana
