These reports contain a fair amount of useful information. Besides trail conditions, they include trail numbers, their official names and end-to-end mileages. The reports may also list information on trail and area closures, especially during fire season.
The current fire danger is LOW.
Lower Chain Lake, June 19, 2024 – W. K. Walker
The Chain Lakes Trail is open. The snow is gone, except for is few patches here and there, and the lake has melted out. Most of the trail clearing consisted of brushing out overgrowth, especially at the trailhead.
Note: Some souvenir hunter swiped all the trailhead signage. We’ll have it replaced shortly.
Enjoy!
Cyclone Lookout, Flathead National Forest, May 15, 2023 – W. K. Walker
Cyclone Lookout Trail No. 40 is open. The trail needed very little work — a couple of small trees in the way and some minor brushing out. The golden-mantled ground squirrels (aka “giant chipmunks”) that live around the base of the tower are already up and active.
The trail is a moderate 2.77 mile (4.5 km) hike to the top of Cyclone Peak at 6000 feet (1830 m).
