Distance: ~7 miles
Vertical: ~3,400ft
The transfer to spring is being made, which is probably my favorite season; activities of winter with the pleasantries of summer. This weekend my wife and I took a very good moderate tour to S. Three Lakes Peak located in the Ninemile Valley west of Missoula, Montana. Plenty of burn areas available west of McCormick Peak along the Ninemile road. Specifically road 5498 which is open for snowmobile access. The adventurous snowmobile rider could cut this tour in half as there is an old road that breaks off from 5498 (keep a sharp eye out) and will bring you about half way up.
