I've done a lot of riding on trails much worse than that. I wasn't particularly concerned in this case because I was riding a good horse named Hickory that I trained for my father in 1990. I've mentioned him elsewhere. He's the Appaloosa in the bottom photo. Now that I think about it, that photo of Hickory with the packsaddle was taken in 1992 on the same trail. Just a few miles below the summit. That was the first time I saw Hoodoo Pass.

The view is beautiful, but I would be sure to fall and break something vital

Wow now you have gone and made me home sick. I was born and raised in Montana. I grew up in Kalispell and spent most of my time in the mountains hiking up and down the mountains. You sure just caused a lot of memories to come back.

One of my favorite was a time when I was patroling some of the National forests on horseback with a U.S. Forest Ranger, (I was a deputy sheriff at the time) and we were heading into one of there cabins for the night. We were going along the trail and it was a scene out of “Sleepy Hallow”. I looked at the Ranger and told him if some guy comes riding out on a black horse with no head and carring a pumpkin in his hand I was going to shoot him first(the Ranger) for getting me into this. We had a good laugh and a great time back in those mountains.

Thanks for the bringing back the memories.

I understand why your father loved it, the view is beautiful!

As far as the steepness goes; why didn’t you just go up and down the Grand Canyon and be done with it!!!??? I would have preferred the sure footed donkey! You would have lost me a LONG time ago! I’m sure I wouldn’t have made it to where the photographer was!!

I posted a couple more Hoodoo photos on my next post. I’d forgotten to post a view from the top.

East side obviously. Looks like a great trail. It’s been so long since I’ve been hiking that I think that I’ve forgotten what altitude feels like…

Up and down on horseback. For my father though, that was a pretty tame trail. He liked them steeper, with a better view.
