Take Highway 200 east from Sandpoint into Montana 12 miles to Montana Highway 56.There is parking at that intersection if you would like to carpool to the trailhead. Turn north on 56 6-plus miles and watch for a small sign on the right for Bighorn Lodge. The road directly across the highway from the Big Horn drive points to Pilik Ridge Trail #1036. Drive carefully on about a 200 yards to a large parking area on the left. The trail is across from the parking lot. In the event that this road is impassable because of snow, we will arrange to park elsewhere nearby and snowshoe into the trail head.
Hike Description:Hike up to Pilick Ridge from the Bull River for a great workout and spectacular views. From there, the ridge rolls west another 8 miles to Star Peak, affording spectacular views of Star Ridge, Bull River Valley, the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, and the Clark Fork River. Bring enough extra clothes, lunch, snacks, and plenty of water to spend a half hour on top enjoying the views. Carl will bring a Jet Boil for anyone’s use. Dogs are welcome.
