About this place
This roadless area covers 11,175 acres, 26 miles south of Butte. It is climbing country.
Granite outcroppings rise 300 to 600 feet out of it. They are part of the Boulder Batholith, and the rock climbing on them is excellent.
Most routes run from 5.5 to 5.7 in difficulty, though there is something here for every level.
A three-mile trail starts at the parking area, one way. It follows the creek through old-growth forest, climbs a ridge, and eventually reaches the Wedge, one of the more prominent spires.
People walk here, climb, look at the country, take photographs, ride horses, watch wildlife, camp rough and fish the small streams.
Developed camping is five miles away at the Divide Bridge Campground.
Carry water, a compass, and a copy of the site map from the back of the brochure.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

Butte-Silver Bow is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
