Directions to Trailhead or Meeting Location:

We will meet at the high school parking lot in Clark Fork. Turn off of Highway 200 to the north on Lightning Creek Road. The lot is on the right.

Hike Description:

Take the trail less traveled. Seems not many venture up this great trail. It’s about 4 miles one way – somewhat comparable to Scotchman, although 3200′ elevation is spread out a bit more evenly. There’s the base of an old fire lookout & beautiful views up Char Creek, Savage, the Scotchmans & Lake Pend Oreille. We do have to cross the East Fork of Lightning Creek – maybe rock hopping, maybe not. We can continue on the ridge over to the “true” East Fork Peak depending on the group’s desire.

This hike begins at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, and is expected to take 6 to 8 hours.
