How disappointing to hear all this bickering going on. I hope you treat each other differently on the trails.

Although the trail described may not be this one in particular, I have ridden a trail that starts at Clearwater Crossing, where the West and North Forks of Fish Creek meet west of Missoula. It starts at roughly 3,560 feet. It goes up the North Fork of Fish Creek to the saddle between North Fork Fish Creek (Montana) and Goose Creek (Idaho) at about 5,880 feet. Then it goes down a couple hundred feet to Goose Lake in Idaho. Then it goes back up along the State Line Trail to a saddle on the state line at about 6,480 feet. From this saddle, I hiked to Crater Mountain, which is over 7,600 feet. The hike from the saddle to the top of Crater Mountain is not on a trail, so it is not practical to take a bicycle for this last part of the trip. Total distance one way is probably more than 15 miles. Much of the trail is along the valley bottom in the North Fork of Fish Creek. Most is not very steep. Some of the trail is difficult because of water bars, rocks, stumps, and roots. It is al

First of all let me say that I have rated this trial and have not ridden it. I simply rated it so I could post a comment in respone to what has been said. All of this is very sad. Some of your comments about 'easterners' are quite upsetting. I am an 'easterner', whatever that means, and simply want some information on biking in southwest MT. What I find is people being completely hateful. Whenever I talk to people about the west, the wonderful blue skies, amazing land, and the great clear air, I always mention how cool the people are. I have been to MT many times and have met a lot of cool people. However possibly I am wrong. I am very sorry for whatever 'easterners' have done to get such a bad rap or possibly some of you are simply overreacting.

I think that most of you are being very selfish. This trail does exist and has been in the new for more technical riding by locals and the NFS. Some of you should research a little furthure before you start judging somebody and their likes. Who cares if people from other parts of the country are in our state becasue the fact of the matter is that eventually those out-of-staters are going to bring money here so that our economy is better. Get off your high horse and chill. Don't hear you complaining about Tom McClay's ski resort up on Lolo Peak.

Maybe you should all stop complaining about others coming to your precious state. I've been here quite a while and the people the I run into that are actually recreating in this area are mostly all from somewhere besides Montana. The Blue Mountain Recreation area on the south end of Missoula offers several downhill trails that can be shuttled by road, or ridden as a loop. The best one that I can think of is "Dead Man's" downhill that starts at the top of Blue mountain and dumps steeply down to the trailhead below. This trail is incredible, so get out and explore a little harder.

This "easterners go home" attitude just pisses me off, unless you are native american, quit b#tching about easterners or anyone else who is enjoying our state.
