Trail Overview

This trail starts out on an old reclaimed logging/mining road and is very bumpy as you ride up the canyon. Once you start leaving the draw the side hill turns into a very narrow trail approximately 6-8" wide. It is loose and uneven. Once you get on top of the ridge the trail goes through an old lodge pole stand and you may encounter some blow downs at all times of the year. The trail does not get a whole lot of traffic so it may be hard to see the trail at times.

Difficulty

About a mile of the trail is a steep side hill climb. Due to the width of this trail and the steep downhill, I would probably rate this trail on a more difficult level. It is easy to go off trail and end up in quite a predicament.

Trail is open. Needs some riders on it honestly. We cut out the top portion in the thickets. Not sure what the other review from 24 was talking about but there is no gate there and it’s good to go. Doesn’t get rode much.

Gate is closed/locked. Full sized road it appears. Was Lolo NF but sold to State but hasn’t been opened to the public. I’d love to get an answer to why it’s closed. I think it was logged or thinned for fire safety so the access is good. It’s becoming a common sight in Montana. Ask your representative!
