We're planning to hike in 30 miles into one of the upper lakes in Montana

I was under the impression that there wasn't any place in
the lower 48 that was that far from roads.

The trail down the Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho goes about 100
miles through the Frank Church Wilderness without encountering a road.
I'm pretty sure that there are places on the trail that are at least 30
miles from any road.

Apparently in the Frank Church the farthest you can get from a road is 16
miles:

Anyhow, I think George said they'd be hiking in 30 miles, not that he'd be
30 miles from the nearest road.
