Fall Colors & Snow Peaks: Backpacking Granite Lake, Montana (No Talking)

This was a solo overnight backpacking trip into the Cabinet Mountains of northwest Montana — a “no talk” video designed to let the landscape tell the story.

I hiked through brilliant fall colors, camped beside a waterfall, and climbed higher to Granite Lake, where snow had already blanketed the surrounding peaks. The contrast between gold and white was stunning — the quiet shift between seasons.

13 miles round trip with 1800' elevation gain.
