Looking for hiking partners for this summer. Overnight trips into Montana and Idaho wilderness. Beartooths in Montana, Seven Devils in Idaho, ect. most trips are 4 to 6 days long. Prefer retired but not written in stone. I old but not too old. Last tear I hiked backpacked 500 miles, so I can keep up with you!

I'm 66 yo! Hike backpack 5 hundred miles last year. Did 42 miles in the Beartooths mts 2014. Can hike 1 mile per hour without a pack. Is that fast enough? I'm retired, married, have kids in Alaska. I'm from Alaska. I have 3 others guys who will go on trips with me. But they are only good for one or two trips per summer. Looking for another one or two. Like to keep it to a max of 4 guys! I like to fish, sight seeing and keeping in shape. You?
