 Heading back to the Beartooths this summer, the plan is to explore Sierra Creek a bit. How is it going up the drainage from Crystal Lake to Flat Rock Lake? |

If they don't see this I can message Swims With Trout and Nick for you.

If you go down a bit to the drainage, it is not bad getting up to Flatrock Lake.
Make sure you climb Castle Mountain.

How is it going up the drainage from Crystal Lake to Flat Rock Lake? It's beautiful!  It's fairly straightforward. A bit of route finding is needed but it's all open. Here's a photo of Sierra Creek from the ridge to the East.  |

Heading back to the Beartooths this summer, the plan is to explore Sierra Creek a bit. How is it going up the drainage from Crystal Lake to Flat Rock Lake? When are you planning to head there? I'll be there with Dorf (who's been wandering the Beartooth Wilderness the past 30+ years) and others in late August. I can reach out to Dorf if you have other questions. |

DorfWorld has been one of the most valuable trip planning resources for our expeditions. Big fan! We'll be there first week of August though.

I was just talking to Craig (Dorf). He said he hasn't touched that site in 13 years lol.
Anyway, yes, we have a route in mind. Starting and finishing at Lady of the Lakes. Aeros > Skytops (with a summit of Granite) > Cairn Creek > Dewey > Fizzle > Somewhere below Lone Elk > Out. Of course this is all subject to change. This is my 3rd trip to the area as I am more of a Teton guy. For Dorf, he's got more bag nights there than anyone I personally know.
