Mountain Biking Wolf Creek Trail/Echo Broken Leg #544
#53 of 265 mountain bike trails in Montana
**Now for one NOT in the Glacier Cyclery ride guide** Start climbing.
Follow 544 till the split/junction with the supposed trail 354 (which in actual
fact, doesn't exist) and then turn around and head back down (about 6
miles each way). I suggest turning around bc if you continue its a steep
steep hike a bike for a very long ways. The trail in question has a good bit
of everything: some amazing, stone-ridden bench cut singletrack with
awesome views of the valley (and some intense/exposed corners), loamy
deep woods singletrack, stream crossings, and a lot of rocks... which makes
for a tricky climb to the top. Totally recommend this trail! I have ridden it
several times.

From Bigfork, drive north on 35. Take a right at 83 at the gas station (first
stop light outside of town). Take a left onto Foothills road? at the Echo lake
cafe/school/gas station corner. Take a right on 5292, and head up the
Jewel Basin road (follow the signs for the Jewel Basin). As you're climbing,
you will see a trailhead and parking area on your right, with an old gravel
pit on your left that is commonly used for a shooting range. Park there, the
singletrack starts off the right side of the road.
This is what mountain biking is all about. This trail epitomizes everything great about taking a bike off road. Long grinding gradual but challengins up hill only to turn around and glide back down as a reward for your hard work. Plenty of roots, rocks, trees, brush and back woods natural obsticles to keep it fun and interesting but not so steep or technical to make it a bike walk.
