Things To Do
Blodgett Overlook Trailhead
This is an awesome hike to a gorgeous canyon view. It's short, but about 500 ft of elevation gain to get to the lookout. The ride up is bumpy, but doable in most vehicles. Shaded at first, but the lookout is sunny. Bring water!
Bitter Root Brewing
This is a great brewery in Hamilton to check out. They have awesome food- including some legitimate fried cheese curds!
Lolo Peak Brewery & Grill
This is a fun brewery to check out in the area 🙂
Missoula Marathon
The weekend after our wedding is Missoula Marathon Weekend! There are lots of events around this race, including a 5k and a half! We are planning on running the half marathon and you are welcome to join us! Please let us know if you are interested in running with us!
Gird Point Fire Lookout
Standing atop this tower you have 360-degree views of the Sapphire, Bitterroot and Anaconda Pintler mountain ranges. This lookout has been restored to reflect a lookout of the 1940’s. It offers beautiful views of the Sapphire Mountains to the east and the Bitterroot Mountains to the west. During the late evening hours the views of the town of Hamilton from the lookout are spectacular. The lookout is approximately 11 miles east of Hamilton at 7,702 feet in elevation. The hike is approximately 3/4 miles.
Bear Creek Overlook Trailhead
The overlook of Bear Creek Canyon is absolutely stunning. You can see it in a little less than 3 miles out and back. A long drive up the mountain gains you some altitude. The trail is listed at moderate with an elevation gain of 1,160. To access the trailhead, take US Highway 93 to Tucker crossing, 3 miles south of Victor, turn west onto Bear Creek Road and follow to the Red Crow Road turning right. After two miles, turn west on Pleasant View Drive as it winds along the mountains. Look for the junction with Forest Road 1325 after 3.9 miles. Follow for another 3.6 miles to the trailhead at the gated end of the road.
