I had long been curious about the Dearborn River, especially its narrow shutes and canyons up the main dearborn river. The Dearborn is usually only floatable through June, though this was a higher water year. I followed a train of horse packers up the "Devil's Glen" trail, though didn't quite reach that point. Rain the day before had left the trail most so it was easy to follow. On the return, I saw large claw prints mixed into the horse show tracks; I hadn't seen any claws on the way up. As the area is part of bear country, and I was hiking alone, I made a quick trek out and tried to make as much noise as possible. The Dearborn River eventually flows into the Missouri River.
