The Big Horns don't lose snow until May usually. PM me if you have any questions about them, I'm from that area and I've spent a lot of time there in the early summer and fall when the Beartooth-Absarokas are inaccessible.

PabloBOOM posted:I've been meaning to ask a question to see if anyone around here knows the answer. Why in the world is there seemingly ancient barbed wire fences along the boundaries of federal lands like wilderness areas, national rec areas, etc. Though I can't seem to recall finding any along the outskirts of actual national parks now that I think on it. I'm presuming it's an attempt to keep the wilderness "wild" and keep livestock/dogs/random critters from mingling? Just my guess though, and I wandered if anyone here knew the actual answer. There's usually grazing leases on whatever state, BLM, or Forest Service land butts up against wilderness and NRAs, whether they're active or not. Barbed wire fences don't really control wildlife at all, except maybe really big animals like elk and bison.

So I need to get new socks and I'm kind of overwhelmed by the Smartwool product range. I want to get a couple pairs of nice winter socks that I can wear under regular hiking boots and then as long as I'm shopping get whatever ones are best for summer hiking. Can someone tell me what socks they'd recommend?

I want socks that I don't have to wash over multi-day trips, so definitely wool. One of my hiking partners wears smartwool and brought three pairs of socks to my seven for a week long trip. I was using those Army cushion sole boot socks because they're comfortable when new and pretty cheap.
