Just got back from first trip to Togwotee. 5 of us got a guide for the first time in our lives. We only used him one day and it was worth every penny. Sun came out the last 2 days and helped us get our bearings. We requested extreme backcountry boondocking and our guide pushed us hard for 70 miles that day, never crossing our own tracks or anyone elses. Fresh powder and tree riding at a pace that we loved. We only clocked 28 miles on day 2 because we had to be mindfull of not getting lost.
Our guide was Lefty, the amazing 1 armed snowmobiler. This guy is an amazing rider and we rode our butts off to just keep up. It's something you would have to see first hand to believe it, but I swear to God, Lefty is one of the best backcountry riders I've seen.
Did I say it's worth getting a guide?
