While we’re in the midst of winter, we have to be honest and say that we’re already looking forward to summer in Montana! And even though winter started slowly this year (we had gorgeous temperatures in December), January and February made up for it with cold temperatures, winter snowstorms and more blanketing our beloved Rocky […]
Spring has officially arrived in Montana and here in Augusta, which sits along the Rocky Mountain Front, we’re gearing up for all things summer. At Mills Wilderness Adventures of Montana, we offer weeklong pack trips into one of the nation’s most beautiful and epic places – the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Each summer, we load up […]
When it comes to summer vacation, there are certain places that tend to be on the bucket list for many travelers. A few of note: the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a safari in Africa, New York City and Montana’s Chinese Wall. While travel plans changed for many in 2020, research has shown that 55 percent […]
In many ways, this summer has been one for the books. From beautiful weather to early summer snowstorms and seeing our boys riding beside each other in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness to Lester having his first summer in the woods (not to mention COVID-19), we’re incredibly grateful for a summer of hard work, long hours, […]

As we wrapped up our 2019 summer season of adventuring into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, we wanted to look back and reflect on the last several weeks. While we work hard, get really busy and are constantly trying to keep up with ourselves, we also recognize and appreciate how blessed we are to be able […]
When it comes to packing for an adventure into the Montana backcountry, we know it can be hard to know where to start. But we also know that it’s important to feel comfortable and prepared, especially when you’re deep in the heart of Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness. To help make packing easier, we’ve created a […]
A lot can happen in 20 years. For us, the past 20 years have included raising our two boys (who are now men), taking countless trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness and more. And while we have loved the last 20 years filled with joy, struggles and thousands of hours in the saddle, this year […]
