Sittin at Helge's place right now with a buffalo all packed up ready to go home.
Didn't pay the trespass fee & went around. Trail is in very good condition.
We saw buffalo down low & up high.
Didn't make it to the horse camp as we ended getting one up high just before it.
Once off the trail you're dealing with 18" of powder.
Accomodations at Helge's are pretty good for $300 flat rate.
Take a guy about 1.5 hours to get to the Horse camp from Helge's by way of the trail around.
Enjoy!
