Ferry Basin Lookout Tower FB-3000

Trail Overview

This mostly dirt road takes you to the Ferry Basin Lookout Tower from the south side of the mountain. On the way up, you will see the beautiful Mission Mountain Range with the Flathead River winding through the valleys below. The road starts pretty easy but quickly gets more difficult as it is a single lane with very limited places to pass and very steep drop-offs. You will drive through some loose shale areas along with grassy areas. It's recommended for short-wheelbase vehicles or smaller due to the 180-degree switchbacks on a very narrow road. This track is 100% on CS&KT tribal lands. Always check their rules and regulations. All recreational activities on tribal-owned lands require a non-member person over the age of 11 to purchase a Tribal Conservation Permit.
