The Bitterroot Valley has (in our humble opinion) some of the best hiking in the world. Alltrails.com is a great resource for finding trails using parameters like distance, difficulty, and other features like dog-friendliness, trail conditions, etc. Here are a few of the most popular hikes in the valley: Blodgett Canyon Overlook Trail Lake Como Loop Trail Trapper Peak Trail Saint Mary Peak Trail Kootenai Creek Trail Bass Creek Trail Bear Creek Overlook Trail Sweathouse Falls Trail
Breweries are abundant here in Montana, and the Bitterroot is no exception. If you're interested in planning your own little tour of the offerings, here's a good map to follow (forwards or backwards, but we’ll start with northernmost in this list): Lolo Peak Brewery & Grill (Lolo) Wildwood Brewery (Stevensville) Blacksmith Brewing Co. (Stevensville) Higherground Brewing Co. (Hamilton) Bitter Root Brewing (Hamilton) Westslope Distillery (Hamilton…obviously not beer, but worth a stop for delicious cocktails!) Bandit Brewing Co. (Darby) Missoula has approximately one million options, as well, so let us know if you’d like a list for our favorites there, as well. Happy drinking!
