Trail Overview
This 10-mile RT track goes from Clear Creek Trail up to just over 4000 feet in the Lolo National Forest. There is room to let another vehicle pass on some of the corners. All private property crossings are allowed if you stay on the trail. The trails up the mountains are steep and twisting turns. Beware of logging trucks in this area. The scenery is spectacular, the forest is healthy and well-maintained, and the wildlife includes wild turkeys, deer, elk, moose, and black and grizzly bears. You may encounter some downed timber in some places, so carrying a saw, a snatch block, as well as a tow rope and other recovery equipment, is a good idea. Take extra fuel, lots of water, and snacks. And we don't ever ride without at least one firearm.
