Trail Overview

Lee Ridge is a single-track trail that connects FS 5950 near Lolo Pass to FS 699 near the Lee Creek Campground along HWY 12. The trail has several steep climbs and many tight switchbacks. It can be ridden as an out-and-back from either direction or part of a larger loop using the Granite Ridge trail. As of July 2024, all trees were clear but some sections have thick brush. There is no dispersed camping along this ride. There are great views of Packer Meadow.

I wouldn't call it an easy trail. An easy trail you can take an EXC500 and XR650R up and this was not that. A few tight turns, rocks and down trees make this a tuff trail especially if you're riding heavy. We started on the Idaho side but had to turn around because of a 3 ft lip coming out of a switchback turn. We were able to go around and hit it from the MT side to complete the journey in reverse order and were rewarded with a freezing cold ride back to camp due to fall air and all the sweat we accumulated. I'd do it again on a lighter 250 but would leave big guns at home for this one.

Access Description

This trail can be reached from FS 699 and FS 5950. The start of the trail is signed at both ends.
