Drive: Pack River Access. The Pack River drains a large area of the Selkirk Range between Harrison Peak in the north and Chimney Rock in the south.
0.0 FS-231, Pack River Road leaves US-2/US-95 at Walsh Lake and proceeds north for almost 20 miles to a point just south of Harrison Peak.
8.5 miles, FST-279 Beehive Lakes Trail

Trail/Route: FST-279, Beehive Lake Trail. This trail leaves FS-231 11.5 miles before the road ends. The rail runs 2.2 miles NW to the Beehive Lakes.
Although both peaks are accessed from the saddle that connects them, it is best to climb the north summit first from the southernmost Beehive Lake and then follow the ridge south to the second summit

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
