The Little Belt Mountains

I love Montana... The more I explore areas of the state that I've never seen the more I know that there is no place else I'd rather be...

I spent the last weekend of June with friends exploring dirt roads in the Little Belt Mountains of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. My favorite roads were FS 839 and Logging Creek Road. FS 839- follows the ridge top up to nearly 8000 feet in elevation - offering incredible vistas and high alpine escape from the 90 degree heat below. Logging Creek Road follows this cool crisp trout stream for miles...

Both roads are in excellent repair and are suitable even for passenger cars. Make a loop from Kings Hill Pass on Hwy 89 north of White Sulphur Springs - take FS 839 west for about 25 miles then follow Logging Creek Rd. until it intersects back with Hwy 89 just north of the town of Monarch (directly across the Hwy from the intersection with County Rd.427). Make sure you are well equipped with water, snacks and a full tank of fuel and enjoy!

Love Montana. Live Montana.
