The views at Sluice Boxes State Park are tough to beat. Hiking through the canyon carved by Belt Creek is an inspiring experience. Highlights include views of cave-pocketed limestone cliffs, resident bald eagles, and archaeological artifacts from past mining. Our hike will follow the upper trail, which means wonderful views into the canyon and none of the creek crossings found on lower routes. This out-and-back hike includes some steep pitches and dramatic exposure at the start (and end) before leveling off to a more relaxed stroll.

Join our Adopt-A-Trail Crew for a day of trail maintenance on the Tally Mountain Trail in the Salish Mountains. We'll be clearing brush, improving drainage, and tackling whatever the trail demands. No prior experience is necessary. Come make a difference on a lesser-known, quiet Tally Lake area trail that could use the help.
The difficulty ratings below are our best attempt to categorize the expected challenge level of a hike. Of course, every individual’s ability and energy levels are unique. Please be conservative when self-selecting an appropriate outing. If you need more information about the challenge associated with a walk to make an informed decision, contact Sonny at smazzullo@wildmontana.org, and he will work with you.
