Pavillion Pass

Trail Overview

Pavillion Pass is a route that connects Highway 97 to Highway 99--a through road. The route does pass through a Reserve Community, so access to this area may be restricted at times. Communication is key to gaining access. You climb over the hillside and follow along some transmission line corridors with stunning views of the glacier mountains off in the distance. There are a lot of farmlands and grazing tenures along the way, but you end up accessing Kelly Lake which has a small campground on the north side.

Difficulty

Most of the route is fairly easy to drive. Once you get to the last few miles, it traverses down the side of the mountain with some tighter switchbacks that have some washed-out sections and very steep side slopes. Access down the mountainside is closed during the winter months due to the terrain.
