I am planning a sobo section through MT this summer, with my wife providing some support in a rental car. Is the dirt Forest Service road from Augusta to Benchmark Airfield difficult in a small, low clearance vehicle? Any experience with the cabins at BM airfield?
TIA,
Mango

It’s a graded gravel road. Fine for most cars.

First - if you are out of East Glacier on your way to BM, I am probably replying to your wife.

Second -you might be able to just show up, bang on the ranch door, and rent a cabin for $75. Anyway that’s what I did. The shower has warm water and the cabins are not electrified. They recharged my iPAD mini in the house by turning on the generator…stopping when the gas ran low.
