Trail Overview
This 4-mile track connects Elkhorn Road to Skyline Mine Trail in the Deerlodge National Forest. You turn off of Elkhorn Road near Tacoma Gulch and basically travel northeast to a high point of 6500 feet. There is some downed timber in this forest, and at times, you may have to move a fallen tree to get by. Carrying a saw, a snatch block, as well as a tow rope, and other recovery equipment is a good idea. The scenery is beautiful. The views are amazing. This forest is home to deer, elk, and bears. If you are here in the early springtime, you may encounter snow and/or mud. After heavy rain, it will be muddy. Plan ahead by bringing extra fuel and plenty of water and snacks.
