Hell Canyon was beautiful as usual, but the ticks were insane. We stopped twice to de tick and couldn't keep up with them. We de ticked again before loading into the trailer. Once home, we checked again and I got 18 ticks off of just one horse leg from the knee down Crazy insane! Surprisingly, Ike had no ticks.
