5706

FS Road 5706 is a 10-mile-long forest road that gradually gains 2,000 feet in elevation as it winds up into the hills and along a shelfy hillside. It starts at the Jew Mountain Trailhead on Overwich Road in the Bitterroot National Forest. Typically one lane wide with limited turnarounds, but graded, it offers a smooth but curvy ride, with occasional embedded rock patches that can make the surface slightly bumpier. Primarily used for trail access, this scenic route features open views and passes through remote terrain. There is one small dispersed campsite located about 4 miles in near the Slate Point turnoff. It ends at a gate where the road becomes a 50-inch trail. Expect ATV traffic on this road as well.
