an overnight camping trip |

Besides the part of the trail that goes to the Swan
River most of the trail stays above the tree line. |

Trail: Follow the trial 285 toward Webster Pass and then turn at the sign toward Deer Creek. Stay above
the tree line and follow the signs to North fork of the Swan River. Turn left at the Swan River and follow the trail to the Middle Fork of the Swan River. Trail 6 will take you back to the top of the Mountain. Turn left at the top and follow the signs to Deer Creek and Montezuma. This will take you back to were you parked. |

The trail is over 20 miles long but will
take all day if you go sight seeing. |
