Camping in Jardine, Montana

We wanted some real camping out in the middle of nowhere and boy did we get it. Up a dirt road from Gardiner we passed Jardine; a place where they still pan for gold. This must be where you exchange your gold for goods.


Up the mountain we went, where it was dropping into the low 30's in late July. We didn't have bear pepper spray so we were real careful about not leaving food around after eating. We kept the leftovers in the truck.

I snapped this shot of what I'm guessing to be a cold storage house.

Mammoth Hot Springs would be off to the left.
