| no partners | | This was one of my favorite hikes of our trip and probably one of my overall favorites for the Bitterroots. A cool destination, some amazing views and a pleasant hike up through small parks, and a pleasant forest.
The trailhead to this hike is about as inconspicuous as it gets, no kiosk or trail sign greets you, but the drive to the trailhead is signed. The theme of this hike is up, you climb for nearly the entire time and it gets steep at times. Trail scenery varied from small parks dotted with flowers and bear grass to thick forest. There was some deadfall here and there, but nothing overly impeding. The views from the lookout were spectacular and the decommissioned lookout that was built in 1938 was in relatively good condition. The logbook suggests a group of people work to keep the tower in generally good shape. After soaking up the views, we returned the way we came. We got rained on during the beginning of the hike and it was threatening to rain again by the end of the hike. |
