Trail Overview

South Fork Nemote Creek (FSR 9915)-Sheridan Ridge (FSR 9914-9912) Loop is a route that makes a big loop thru this section of Lolo National Forest. The route climbs to 5500' on a gravel one-lane road with steep banks and turns on the route. The route is only open from 05/16-10/14 or is impassible due to snow at the beginning of Summer. The route follows Nemote Creek for a few miles, which runs the length of the valley. There are places to stop to enjoy the scenery and have lunch. Flowers & colorful bushes can be found growing in the later part of summer. Most of the government land thru here is new growth due to past fires.
