2021 Morrison Adventure Recap

Northern Wyoming and Southern Montana
August 11-15, 2021

On this adventure, we had six 4×4 vehicles:  2 Jeep Gladiators, 1 built Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 3 Jeep Wrangler JKURs.  We explored northern Wyoming and southern Montana, mostly in the Beartooth mountains, with the highlight being the famous Morrison Jeep Trail on the first day.  This trail is a shelf road with over twenty steep switchbacks that go up the side of a mountain.  The views on this trail are amazing.  Midway through this adventure we ran the Hellroaring Trail in southern Montana, and after that we ran the Benbow trail in south central Montana.  

Here are some notes on this adventure from participant Wayne Bennett.  More photos from this awesome adventure follow.

Flat tire on the Morrison switchbacks and a grizzly in a field to start our 4Xploring Morrison Adventure. Day one of our three day adventure was epic.

Can you think of a worse place to have a flat than on the steep switchbacks of the Morrison Jeep Trail? Bob and Christopher got it changed!
4Xploring Morrison21 YoungGrizzly
A young/adolescent grizzly bear meandered through a field. He didn't have any interest in us.
4Xploring Morrison21 ChiliDinner
The chili smelled great, and was delicious, as was the Dutch oven cornbread which could have been a meal in itself.

Finishing the Morrison, then Beartooth Hwy, Hellroaring Creek Rd, and the start of Benbow Jeep trail highlighted our second day of our 4Xploring.com Morrison Adventure. Chef Levenhagen’s incredibly delicious supper was amazing! You always eat very well on a 4Xploring adventure.

A new masterpiece! Tasted as good as it looks. Mary lays down sausage slices while Bob looks on.

Our third day found us on the Benbow Jeep Trail to the Benbow Mine and Mill. More good food and good company for our final day on the trails. We’re already talking about the next 4Xploring adventure.
