Flatiron Ridge

Trail Overview

This 12-mile RT trail zigzags up Flatiron Ridge in the Lolo National Forest to an elevation of 4362 feet. 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.
