Viewing the Lolo Trail Day Hike |
This outing takes you to Granite Peak on the Montana/Idaho border (7,551 ft.). It sports a commanding view of the southern portion of the Great Burn proposed wilderness. Hikers will have a birds eye view of the Lolo Trail where Lewis & Clark traveled across the Bitterroot Mountains in 1805 & 1806. Trip leader is Steve Schombel, local Sierra Club volunteer and V.P. of the Rock Mountaineers hiking group. From the Crooked Fork trailhead in Idaho, it is a 3-mile hike along a good trail and another 1.5 miles up through an open forest to this collection of sharp 'knobs'. It is a routine scramble to the top of the third lowest point, but the other two will require some tricky 4th class climbing (reaching the tip-top of any of these is optional.)
This is one in a series of summer and fall outings in the areas explored by Lewis and Clark offered by the Montana Chapter of Sierra Club. Many of these outings follow directly in the explorers' footsteps; others take place in nearby areas that are representative of the wilderness the two worked so hard to map and record.
Directions: Contact: Trip Leader, Steve Shombel at 721-4686 for meeting location and details as to what to bring.
