Trail Overview
The route begins on a gravel road that is plenty wide for two vehicles to pass. The route will make a gradual climb from 4800'-6400'. Some areas of the route have been recently logged with large areas of new growth. There is a large flora of Bear Grass in the higher elevations in the early summer. The route is very scenic looking into the Northern and Eastern parts of the Lolo National Forest. A late spring snow melt could stop you from completing the route. Offline Maps will need to be loaded, as a lack of cell service in some areas.
