Ross Creek Cedar Grove Scenic Area

Reviewed By mochezhead

After snagging a highly sought after parking space, we meandered through the trails with our heads tipped upwards and our eyes open wide. Words or pictures cannot explain the magnificence of this area. Although there were 100's of people in the area, it did not seem crowded once we started wandering. In addition to the huge cedars, we found an isolated area to build cairns in the dry creek. Brave the parking lot to enjoy a peaceful walk among nature's beauties.

Jewel Basin Hiking Area

Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, United States

With tens of thousands of acres and dozens of trails this is a hikers paradise. Located east of Kalispell, and past the Hungry Horse Dam, access in the winter becomes considerably more restricted. The use of a four wheel drive made this trip possible. We drove in about 8 miles or so on the west side of the dam to Jimmy Trail. The trail is fairly strenuous and the calf deep snow added to that. The trail ascends steeply in numerous places with almost no flat or plateau areas. The views through the trees are breathtaking and it was well worth the effort. This is a remote area and precautions are necessary. Bring supplies and at least bear spray, as bears, mountain lions and bobcats are present. Our hike was about three miles out and back. This time of year there is almost no vehicular or pedestrian traffic, though snow mobiles could be heard in the distance. On a sadder note the beetles have done an enormous amount of damage to the trees. So much more to do.
