Seeley Lake Ranger District, Lolo National Forest
Mission Mountains Wilderness, Swan Lake Ranger District, Flathead National Forest
Hungry Horse Ranger District, Flathead National Forest, includes Jewel Basin
Lincoln Ranger District, Helena National Forest
Glacier View Ranger District, Flathead National Forest
Rocky Mountain Ranger District, Lewis and Clark National Forest
Swan Front, Swan Lake Ranger District, Flathead National Forest
Spotted Bear Ranger District, Flathead National Forest
Personal Experience: The majority of the trails I was on were wide, nicely maintained, and free of down-trees. My only complaint was the amount of dust due to heavy horse traffic throughout the wilderness area.
PERMITS/SPECIAL REGULATIONS: Permits are NOT required for back country travel into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, but you should most definitely check in with a local ranger station to get the most up-to-date reports.
