We had a great first weekend. Spent 2 nights and 3 days in the wilderness. I saw 1 bear and we put about 25 miles on the ground. The weather was great, sun, rain, hail and snow 😂. Couldn’t have asked for a better first trip. I can’t wait for the next trip in a couple of weeks.

I'm borrowing a buddies truck in Walla Walla. It's pretty much unstoppable depending on temperature. At the milk shakes as of yesterday there was 99". I'm just wondering how far down I'll have to snowshoe. Bears should be down low hopefully. Thinking if I make it to head out buck ridge and drop off the left fork.

Are you thinking you be able to drive behind the slopes to start your hike onto buck ridge? Or starting your hike from the paved road?

With a long range shooter should catch something out on the left slopes.  :tup:  be a pack out with snowshoes. Good luck!

I'm hoping to drive as far as sawtooth and Deadman, hunting in between. Get out on the ridgetops and spot something down low.

I can just about guarantee a huge snowdrift within a quarter mile of getting over the top of the ridge and on skyline.. Then its close to three mile hike to sawtooth trailhead and a little closer to buck ridge. I did that two years ago the week before memorial weekend thinking same as you but couldnt get around that snow drift .. There will be lots of snow in the treeline until you hit the open ridges that add to the adventure..
