Montana Mountain 2.5

Very scenic Jeep trail that climbs to over 5,000’ elevation.  One section on a north slope frequently has snow in the winter, so do not go immediately after a strong storm.
 Over 30 miles, but fairly easy roads.  A short day.  Can be combined with either Millsite Canyon 3.0 or Marble Mine 3.0.

This is rated at 2.5, but could also be rated a strong 2.0.  The western portion is graded more often than the eastern. 

Watch for "Elephant Arch" on the upper side of the road, on the western leg of the loop.

​There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Also look for a window in the rocks on the western leg.  East side of the road.  View Queen Valley from a high spot on the trail.

A stone house is located a short distance off the main trail on the eastern leg.  You may find water on the low end of the eastern leg in Happy Camp Canyon.
