Trail Overview
This seven-mile section of the Gibbons Pass Road system is a smooth gravel road that is plenty wide for two vehicles to pass at nearly any point. The majority of this road is flat but there are a few spots of elevation change that are fairly mild slopes. This road is gravel with very few rocky spots and a few potholes as well. You can get cooking pretty fast on this road and complete it pretty quickly. If you are taking the Gibbons Pass road from near Sula, MT, this is definitely the easy section of the road and it will spit you out right at the top of Lost Trail Pass into a fairly big parking lot. This road was used as a fire line in 2022 for the Trail Creek Fire and is evident along the entire section of the road by the wide swath of chopped-down trees.
