They said they had to wait about an hour for the ride into town. There were fires in the area and the road had quite a bit of traffic at that time. The store has some really nice showers, rental towels, and a laundromat. That is a dry stretch heading north so if you go to Winston, remember to bring water back with you.

You might encounter hunters, or forest service / firefighting personnel out of Beaverhead. In other words, good chances for a ride when they arise. I believe a GET'er or two successfully managed to hitch into Winston after a long wait. Best to have a little extra food on hand, just in case. The ride back might be a little less challenging, as Hwy 52 sees some rancher traffic out of Dusty. <br><br>Another option would be to walk into Chloride (and/or Winston) via FR 226 near Lookout Mountain. The CDT follows the road for a mile (heading the wrong way for nobos); leave the trail where it first joins the road and head east, 12 or 13 miles into town. It's a long descent and return climb but is scenic. You might get lucky with the ATV traffic, especially on weekends. <br><br>- blisterfree<br><br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 12/1/12, <a href="mailto:cdt-l-request@backcountry.net">cdt-l-request@backcountry.net</a> <i><<a href="mailto:cdt-l-request@backcountry.net">cdt-l-request@backcountry.net</a>></i></b> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>Farther north, can anyone testify to hitching into Winston via 59/52?<br>Is there even less traffic on 59 than on the road to Reserve?<br><br><br>------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
