Riding the Hiawatha Trail near Lookout Pass

Lookout Pass Ski Area is on the crest of the Bitterroot Range, the border between Idaho and Montana. Lookout Pass Ski Area is immediately adjacent to Interstate 90. It snows early and often here, a fine, light powder that is magical to ski in. Lookout Pass has operated a free Ski School for Children for more than 60 years. The B-52 Terrain Park offers banks, huge launches and a 1,111-foot-long natural quarter-pipe.

In the summer, Lookout Pass also sees significant traffic as it's one of the prime staging areas for folks biking the Hiawatha Trail: a route that follows the abandoned railroad trackbed from St. Regis, Montana to Pearson, Idaho.
