Family Friendly Pleasant loop trail with no junctions except at the beginning provides an extra dimension to a visit to Peck Gulch Campground or day use area.

Description

It's hard to rate this benign little trail intermediate. Still, it's not flat. It climbs from the campground and day use area to the highway and back down, offering views of Lake Koocanusa through open forest. It's a narrow track laden with needles but still easy to follow. Highly recommended as a quick leg stretch during a day of driving.

Flora & Fauna

Open Ponderosa pine forest with snowberry and bearberry

The highest reaches of the trail, just below Hwy 37, offer the best views of Lake Koocanusa.

As you hike this pleasant, needly track, you're somehow totally unaware that this little trail is tucked within the bend of the entrance road.
