Hike Description:

Join Friends of Scotchman Peaks for a summer hike up the Star Peak Trail. We will hike approximately 2 miles to a beautiful overlook of the Clark Fork Valley. It’s a big climb, but lots of switchbacks keep the grade mellow and provide big, sweeping views.

Event will run from 9am-3pm Montana time (8-2pm Idaho time)
