This 18-mile, all-singletrack ride is one of the premier trails in Glacier Country. The town of St. Regis, near the trailhead, is along the route between Spokane and Missoula.

The trail runs through the Lolo National Forest, hugging the east bank of the Clark Fork River. The smooth singletrack is almost entirely rideable; it's a lot of fun as you roll up and down through thick forest, open meadow sections and dive down to the river banks.

Once you're done biking, there's a hot springs to soak weary muscles available at Quinn's Hot Springs, located a couple of miles north of the trailhead on Highway 135.
