LET'S ROLL!
HELL HILL ☠️
Parker made it 300 yards before hitting a rut and root or something that stopped him in his tracks.
After about 7 miles we came to a very steep Hill that was about 3/4 mi long. We struggled to get up the first few hundred yards. After two hours We only managed to get the xr250 to the top . It was too dangerous to try to get the heavier xr650s up to the top. We had to turn around and go back 7 miles to our starting point.
The park ranger was at the parking lot when we returned from "hell hill". We told him about the difficulties we had on the hill. He was interested so he was going to go research to find out if there's another way to get around the Hill or why it's so steep and dangerous.
Many free-ranging cattle all around Montana. You have to watch out for them. They can run in front of you and then you could be in big trouble.
We ended up running out of time and energy and ended up trailering to Helena and we stayed in a super 8 that night to "lick our wounds" and recover. 🤕
