Paine Gulch Trail

Paine Gulch is a Natural Research Area in the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Paine Gulch Trail is a great afternoon hike if you are near Monarch, Montana. It features a lush forest setting and makes for a beautiful workout.

The trail ends in a meadow and would be a perfect place to have a picnic.

There is a burn area on the trail that is open and hot. We suggest bringing sunscreen. The area is beautiful and blooming with wildflowers.

Overall, this is a simple, quiet, and beautfiul trail in Central Montana.
