Heavy SNOW caused the Montana Department of Transportation to CLOSE 10,947′ Beartooth Pass on US-212 yesterday at 8:10pm. The closure goes from Vista Point on the Montana side to Long Lake on the Wyoming side.
Road conditions will be reevaluated this morning around daylight.
Pretty awesome that we’re having road closures in Montana in August!

I love my north face "cats meow" sleeping bag. It's rated for 20 degrees so I can use it in sept in the mountains.
I run a marmot eos-1p tent. It's small and lightweight. Not much extra space, but I don't need that.

This is what I use: http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/tents/backpacking-tents/elixir-3/product
I like the room and at 6 pounds it's not terrible to pack.

This is what I'd use if I was buying new: http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/tents/backpacking-tents/carbon-reflex-3/product
Under 3 pounds and quite roomy.

I use a Nemo Verve 20 spoon shaped synthetic sleeping bag with a therma-a-rest sleeping pad - about 5 pounds total so I have about 11 pounds into my sleep system. If I did it over I'd go with the carbon reflex tent and a down sleeping bag with the therma-a-rest pad. That would put total weight right around 7 pounds.
