Trail Overview

The Mount Creek-Potter Creek Road is an 8.6-mile, single-lane dirt road that ascends Mount Haskell to 6,253 feet. Beginning at Browns Meadow Road, it climbs 1,767 feet as it winds through the Flathead National Forest, wrapping around the slopes of Mount Haskell. Although the road is graded and generally well maintained, it's riddled with potholes for much of the way--none too deep for a truck or SUV. The most challenging section is the final quarter mile, where you'll encounter a short climb featuring several minor washouts. When you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the mountain ranges and valleys below. The entire route can typically be completed in two-wheel drive in dry conditions. Please note that this is a required route with a license plate.
