Trail Overview

Skyland (Forest Service Road 569) is an easy, scenic 8-mile gravel road winding through the Flathead National Forest near Marias Pass. Starting near a creek and small waterfall, the route climbs gently from 4,918 feet to a peak of 5,593 feet. The well-maintained, flat surface features minimal technical challenges, making it suitable for all vehicle types, including large dually pickups and trailers. The corridor offers numerous free, dispersed campsites and serves as a gateway to several wilderness hiking trails. While highly accessible from late spring through early autumn, winter snow can make the route impassable.
