Trail Overview

This trail is the west access to an abandoned border crossing. You will start at Lodgepole Road, which is a hard-packed gravel road. It will take you through multiple valleys to a Sasquatch sign. From there, you will turn south onto the Flathead Forest Service Road. It will be a good, hard-packed gravel road, and it will start to narrow down, getting more overgrown until you reach the abandoned border crossing, where you will find multiple buildings & foundations. Please respect the area & structures. All bridges have been refurbished to concrete bridges.

Difficulty

A 4WD vehicle or Adventure Bikes are preferred for the last 10 kilometers (6 miles) due to overgrowth with some small deadfall at times, and it can be rutted & slippery on wet days.
