                   50599 Hwy 93
        Between Town Pump & Burgerville               Just up highway 93 is J-2000 Road, which has many trails right
                                                      off of the road all the way up to the top. You could start at the
                                                      bottom and wind your way up the 10 miles to the Tower, or you
                                                      could find a tucked away trail along the road and trek as far as
                                                      your heart desires. This is one of my favorite places to jog
                                                      because you can make it as long or short as you want to! Stay

            Fridays 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM                 to. There are many places with a view along the trek, but the

                                                      ultimate destination along the trail offers one of the most vast
                                                      and astonishing views of Flathead Lake I’ve found nearby. It is
                                                      approximately 5-6 miles to this spot from the trailhead.
                                                      Directions:

                                                      approximately 1 mile where you’ll take a right turn onto Bull Pine
                                                      Road. From Bull Pine Road turn left onto Meadow Road and

                                                      Drive. Once on Canyon View Drive, just before the sharp right
                                                      curve in the road, you’ll see a city water/electric building and a
                                                      nice size area to park. Once parked walk passed the large
                                                      metal, locked gate and sizable boulder to continue along the
         (406)872-4400                                trail. To get to the view mentioned above, take the first sharp
                                                      right in the trail a little less than a mile from the start. This winds
      Open 10:30AM - 11PM Sun. - Thurs.               around, goes up a steep hill and then winds around the White
           10:30AM - 12AM Fri. & Sat.                 Swan hills until you get to the view.
