Some connecting trails require a ford of the Middle Fork and should not be attempted in spring runoff.

Hike the Continental Trail from Lola Creek Campground down to Big Hole, a giant eddie with big fish. From there you can continue north on the Continental Trail via the Middle Fork Trail #001 or go West to Fir Creek Campground and Bruce Meadows via Bear Valley Trail #010 after crossing the Middle Fork. This area was 90% burned in 2012 so the sun exposure is a bit extreme but the views are wide open.

The trail is wide and easy-going with a handy bridge just 1.1 miles in.
