My plan for a solo catch and cook adventure failed completely. The trail to the high mountain lake became too dangerous for the horses, and I had to make a tough call. This trip quickly turned from a fishing trip into an 18-hour solo survival challenge to find a safe spot in the remote Montana wilderness.
Sometimes you head out for one thing and the mountain gives you something else entirely. After the trail disappeared, I had to do some serious navigating down a steep cliff trail to find a place we could safely rest. This is the story of that grueling 18-hour day, a true test of endurance and horsemanship.
We'll cover everything from the tough decision-making on the trail to the simple reward of making cowboy coffee in a place few people will ever see. And on the ride home, things got a little Western when a wild mountain goat encounter led to a heart-stopping moment on the very edge of a cliff. This is what it's really like to spend a day alone, off-grid, escaping the world on horseback. Thanks for coming along for the ride.
