Old Lolo Trail, Lochsa River, now you're in my old stomping grounds!!
My first trip over the Old Lolo Trail was in 1957 on a family camping trip to White Sands Creek. We repeated this trip every year for several years and the Old Lolo Trail was how we went as US 12 was not yet in existence. We got on it at Kooskia Id and drove to Lolo MT. Then back into the Lochsa Lodge and down into White Sands.
Yeah, way too early for that country.
I haven't been in there since 1979. But I am planning a trip in late July or early August this year. I will be doing the whole Lolo Trail to Lolo MT then on to Great Falls to visit a friend. Then bring US 12 back and go down into White Sands creek on the way home.
You're welcome to do the Lolo with me if you have nothing better to do!! Drop dead gorgeous country!!! In Lewis & Clark book this was the most difficult part of their trip.
