Trail Overview
This is a Forest Service Road that runs all the way from Red Ives Ranger Station to Heller Creek Campground. This road connects to others that can take you all the way to Superior, Montana, if you so choose! You will follow right alongside Red Ives creek before climbing up into almost subalpine territory, where after the rough rocky road, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the Bitterroot mountains and St Joe's wild and scenic river below. If you time it right, there are even large huckleberry patches to be found! You will see beautiful mountains like Needle Peak, Red Ives Peak, Cascade Point, Neversweat Peak, and more! This is a narrow dirt forest service road that is extremely rough and rocky in portions that can be uncomfortable for some riders - however, the views are worth it!
