Montana Mountain

Did this trail with Valley Jeepsters today. Amazing views, and definitely a lot more challenging than it was 2 years ago. Deep ruts, washouts, a few large rocks here and there, plus a few off-camber spots next to a steep drop off. Technically, the trail is easily passable with a stock Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, but it is a mental challenge for those not used to off-roading, steep drops and high elevations. This is a very remote trail, and it doesn’t matter how good your rig is, DO NOT GO ALONE!

More erosion than the last time, 6-8 months ago. Still passable w/stock Rubi. Went counter clockwise. Prefer to climb the switchbacks. Scraped once on the descent not far from the Roger's Trough TH. Hit same spot last year. Nice loop. Plan at least 4 hours to complete.

Started on Superior side mid morning follows along some easy trails up to the switchbacks. Switchbacks climbing up are not bad just be mindful vehicles and sxs also coming down leave very little room to pass. After making to the top has some good views for couple pictures and ride down on the Queen valley side all pretty easy. We had a Yukon XL 3" lift on 35's and a Tacoma level kit with Bilsteen shocks and aftermarket wheels and tires. Yukon did most the trip in 2wd only 2 times used 4x4 just mainly to be more controlled. Is pretty easy trail if you don't like shelf roads maybe just start at Queen Valley side and turn around at top and go back Queen Valley way.

great trail. first time. started at the Queen valley entrance. took an hour to get to the top. then 2.5 hours down the happy jack trail with all the switch backs. if you don't like shelf roads, I would not recommend. some washout outs on the switch backs to be mindful of. I went by myself and wished I had brought someone with me to help spot in a few places. fun trail, just be careful and don't be in a rush.
