Trail Overview

Spectacular views of Flathead Lake and Kalispell. Smooth, well maintained, and easy going. No obstacles, but the first two miles are residential, and you may run into logging operations depending on the time of day. The trail ends at Patrick Creek. A right turn takes you back to Kalispell, a left turn takes you to Kila via Emmons Creek. Winter conditions may limit travel, and cell service is spotty.

Very easy. Pretty washboard at the beginning of the trail. Definitely some ice underneath the half inch of snow. Several trees down across the road that have been cleared enough room to get a full size 4x4 through. It's pretty much just a dirt road up the mountain. We started at Patrick Creek road.
