Granite Creek Trailhead

From Highway 2, just west of Marias Pass turn south onto Forest Road 569 and follow it approximately 8 miles to the Granite Creek Trailhead. From here it is 6 mile hike down the Granite Creek Trail (trail #156) to the Big River Trail (trail #155) that parallels the Middle Fork Flathead. This trail provide an option for an overnight packraft trip through the Spruce Park Gorge during lower summer flows. While formal camping is not available at this site, you can bivouac in the grassy parking area if you arrive late and want to start your hike in the next morning.
