Spotted Bear Mountain Trail

Grueling uphill climb. Very hot in the summer. Bring lots of water. No water sources on the trail. Outstanding and beautiful 360 degree view from the top. Well worth the effort. Views of Great Bear Wilderness, Swan Range, Bob Marshal Wilderness, and Glacier National Park....

Spotted Bear River Trail
14 miles away
...h 7/29/08. Not much to see until you are near the top. Lots of water. larger creeks were still almost knee deep. No huckleberries. Plenty of biting flies and skeeters. Grade isn't too bad with a good climb after the pass to My lake. 3 days from Silvertip to My lake gave us time to hit the Chinese wall / Larch Pass on the 3rd day. 26 miles +-. My Lake is warm, has frogs and supposedly leeches. The mule deer think it is a petting zoo. Got quite windy and cool. We saw 18 mountain goats on the wall. 1 young Grizzle, 2 black bear cubs, 4 people, a few white tails, 10 mule deer on the journey.
Troop 111, Sandpoint Id. Incredible trip, worth every step!
We came back down to silvertip via Wall creek which is on the list to be cleared. Last fall horse tracks in mud like concrete, lots of blow downs on upper 2 miles of wall creek. When cleared this would be a decent trail. I would not recommend going to my lake up wall creek, Juliet creek, to larch hill pass, one steep up hill grind.
Bungalow mountain trial looks like it hasn't been traveled in years. We may still be up there if we...
