Smith Ridge Glen Lake

Trail Overview

This is a stunning drive into the Bitterroots from the Bell Crossing area. You start in a residential area and ascend to the trailhead for the Glen Lake hike. Along the way are a few hidden waterfalls, some dispersed camping spots, and a few breathtaking corners as you climb above the Bitterroot Valley, with the Sapphire Mountains on the other side. The road is well-trafficked and there are plenty of pullouts or wider sections to allow oncoming traffic to pass. There is plenty of Verizon LTE most of the way up. It could be closed in the winter once the snow comes.
