2000+ feet of non-stop no pedal descending. Steep switchbacks, huge rockgardens and fast flowy sections are your reward for hitting a seldom ridden descent close to Missoula. MTB Missoula is responsible for clearing deadfall from this trail every year, so give them some kudos, or even better become a member
Access Info
Either shuttle or ride up Mormon peak road to Lolo peak trailhead. Mill Creek trail starts less than a mile up this trail.

Great, technical run. Bring the big bike, pads, and ride it hard. Lots of roots up top, the mud section is shale and moon dust (august). Tight switchbacks with steps/rock drops and great views when you stop to cool the brakes (recommended). The bottom section is dominated by rock gardens. Enjoy! This one is fun!
