I am looking for advice on a 4-5 day backcountry trip into The Bob Marshall. I have a couple friends coming from out of town and we are planning on late August / early September. We have all done a fair amount of backpacking, just not around The Bob Marshall. It would be great to do 7 - 10 +/- mile days.

I live in Missoula and have been here for a year. I mainly hiked in the Bitterroots last year. But I did a couple day hikes on the edge of the Bob Marshall too, East Saint Mary's Peak was my favorite day hike.

I could ask people I know around Missoula, but it seems like I will get better advice here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks - Mike.
