Johnson Peak

Trail of the Week

Hike to the McCart Lookout in southwest Montana for expansive views of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. As you gradually climb Johnson Peak Trail to the lookout, enjoy enchanting light filtered through dense stands of lodgepole pine and abundant shade. In the spring, the wildflowers will add bursts of color to your hike. At the summit, enjoy panoramic views of the Bitterroot Mountains and the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. If you’d like to stay a while, the historic fire lookout tower can be rented by the night.
