Trail Overview
This is a twisty dirt out-and-back trail gaining elevation up to a nice campsite or turn around. It's a mostly treed trail with some beautiful views out to the Bitterroot Valley where the trees open up. Some of the trees are pines and others are aspens; it's a beautiful area to see in the fall when the leaves are changing colors. In a few sections of this trail, the trees and bushes are a bit overgrown, making the trail narrow. The trail is also rutted and washed out in a few areas as well as a bit bumpy with rocks. The end of the trail has a nice dispersed campsite in the trees, and it looks like there is a short hike from the campsite to see another valley and hilltops.
