Rock climbers rejoice! One of Montana's best kept secrets has been let out of the bag and it's now bigger, badder and better than ever before.

Located 25 miles equidistant between the towns of Whitefish and Eureka in Montana's largest state forest, this raw and rocky landscape is accessible only to non-motorized travel and boasts 49 different climbing zones scattered throughout 3,000 acres of wilderness.

While predominately a sport climber and boulder’s playground, don’t leave the trad rack at home collecting dust because opportunites abound for rock warriors of nearly every caliber and discipline.

Discover the unique geological history preserved in the ancient outcrops of exposed bedrock and the tumultuous story of how prehistoric seas, continental collisions and ice age glaciers shaped this rugged land.
