Spanning the Idaho/Montana border, the Scotchmans are one of the last, and largest, wild areas in our region. We conduct education, outreach and stewardship activities to preserve the rugged, scenic and biologically diverse 88,000 acre Scotchman Peaks Roadless Area. We believe the Scotchman Peaks deserve congressional designation as Wilderness for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations.

Morris Creek - 02/20/10

This trip can be negotiated using XC skis, snowshoes or a combination thereof. It starts with a three-mile trek up Lightning Creek Road to the Morris Creek trailhead. Some may want to ski this portion, then switch to snowshoes. There is no real “destination” associated with this trip – no peak or lake. The beauty of this trail is enough. This will be challenging for all but the most avid hikers. Round trip, 12 miles. Elevation gain, 2000 feet
