Write Up:
It was a long way to Bearhead, up to Firebrand Pass, up again to the summit of Red Crow, down to the saddle above Lena Lake, follow the goat trail to DeSanto Pass and then up to the summit of Bearhead. We took the scree escalator down to the goat trail, bypassing Desanto Pass on the way back, and then down to Lena Lake for a foot bath and water pump. There is a trail from Lena Lake up to the basin below Firebrand Pass which saved us from a bushwhack. Back to the cars at 6:40, an almost 11 hour trip with 5100 elevation. Lots of good views of the Marias Pass and Two Medicine peaks.
