This segment is a portion of the Continental Divide Trail between Jahnke Creek and Berry Creek Meadows. The trail is primarily singletrack and non motorized. The trail segment can be accessed from either direction via Jahnke Creek, Berry Creek or Pioneer Creek access trails or from segments of the CDT on either side of this segment. The trail goes through dense stands of mature lodgepole pine of which many trees have been attacked and killed by mountain pine beetles. There may be significant amounts of deadfall if the trail hasn't been cleared recently.

Access Info

This segment of the Continental Divide Trail can be accessed via the Berry Creek or Jahnke Creek trails off the Skinner Meadows/Big Hole River Road 381 southwest of Jackson, Montana.
