Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness is teaming up with Wild Montana to offer an early summer hike with big, sweeping views you normally wouldn't expect until July. We'll hike about halfway up Star Peak in the southern Scotchmans. It's a big climb, but lots of switchbacks keep the grade mellow and provide the excuse to pause for beautiful vistas of the Clark Fork Valley.

Join us for a scenic hike along the Old Highway 2 trail to Shannon Lake. Our route features fantastic views of Kootenai Falls and the river valley. We'll stop to identify plants and wildflowers along the way, including several wildflower varieties near Shannon Lake that are harder to find without a steeper or longer hike. There is a short scramble up to the lake, but the trail is otherwise gradual and wide, with a few interpretive displays about the history of the old road and area. Spring is the best and most bountiful wildflower time along this accessible and enjoyable trail. We'll end early enough for participants to explore the adjacent Kootenai Falls and Swinging Bridge afterward if they want to.
Wild Montana’s Shining Mountains Chapter is excited to present an evening with Chris Prange of the Great Burn Conservation Alliance and Zack Schlanger of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation, who will present their work with invasive plants in the backcountry.
