Trailhead: 1 mile E. of Martin City, MT
Desert Mountain can provide for a full day or half day of riding! This location is highly recommended on a clear day as it provides some of the best views close to Kalispell of the surrounding big mountains in Great Bear Wilderness and Glacier National Park. '
There are two primary trails - the first and most recommended goes up to Desert Mountain and is an easy, groomed ride with a few steeper trail sections on the road and on the side of the roads. If you can make it to Belton Point, the views are spectacular. You can even see Lake McDonald in GNP. The Desert Mountain Ride provides a small amount of fun riding terrain when there is good snow.
A second trail loops through the wilderness terrains and clear cut areas providing beautiful views into the wilderness area.
