Trail Overview

Reese Creek Road leaves the Lemhi Valley and climbs towards the Continental Divide. It is a one-lane dirt road with occasional turn-outs to allow passing for full-width vehicles and passes through the dry foothills of the Beaverhead mountain range. The quality of the tread and tread width quickly deteriorates as the road gains elevation. By the end of the surveyed portion of this road, the tread is strictly single lane, and there are some washouts that would require caution in a full-sized vehicle.
