Land OwnerFlathead National Forest
/DC is a really quick way to get from the parking lot to Alder trail. You'll experience a short climb (apx. 20' of elevation gain) from where the trail branches off of Ferngully and most will have to hike their bike up it. Don't let that stop you though, because once that short climb is over it's practically flat all the way to Voltage.
