Larch Camp Road

Located within the scenic Lolo National Forest in the South Hills area, this 1.6-mile unpaved route is perfect for any standard passenger vehicle, requiring no special off-road modifications. The trail climbs gently from an elevation of approximately 3,860 feet to a peak of 4,315 feet, offering a modest 453-foot elevation gain. Travelers will enjoy dense forest canopy, rolling mountain views, and opportunities to connect to nearby hiking networks. While the smooth gravel surface makes for a highly accessible drive with a low technical rating of 2, drivers must remain cautious of blind corners and potential oncoming traffic on the narrow road. The route is typically accessible during the late spring through late fall, though winter weather can bring deep snow and seasonal closures. Parking areas and trailheads along the route provide excellent access points for foot travel, making it a versatile option for combining a scenic drive with outdoor recreation close to town.
