Where can I go Snowshoeing?
Lolo Pass
Just up the hill from Lolo Hot Springs, there are many options for snowshoeing along Lolo Pass. Park at the summit and follow one of the snow covered roads. You can literally choose your own adventure up here. Or, visit Snowshoe Falls by parking near the turnout at mile marker 5 and follow the creek to the falls.
Chief Joseph Trail System
The Bitterroot XC Ski Club grooms a large network of cross country ski and snowshoe trails near the Lost Trail Ski Area. When you are done snowshoeing, warm up in a log cabin at the trailhead. Trail Maps (maps are also available at the trailhead).
