Willow Mountain to Burnt Fork Lake Hiking trail

Easy graded narrow trail. Lots of pullouts to pass other drivers; some of the corners are steeper with looser gravel. Be alert for people collecting firewood and their trucks parked right in the road as they drag trees from the forest. We encountered horseback riders, dirtbike riders, and SXS's on the trail. There are vast, beautiful views of the Bitterroot Valley. Occasional dispersed camping spots along the way. The lookout tower gate was closed and located and is a half-mile hike to get to the lookout tower. The road continues through the forest and ends at another locked gate where you could continue on foot and hike to the Burnt Fork Lake
