Description: The Ross Creek Scenic Area, situated within the Kootenai National Forest in northwestern Montana, is a remarkable 100-acre locale graced by a magnificent stand of ancient western red cedars. Among these awe-inspiring trees, some reach astounding dimensions, boasting diameters of up to 12 feet and soaring heights of 175 feet. This sanctuary is essentially a 500-year-old grove of majestic red cedars, creating an atmosphere akin to a rainforest, and it is a cherished destination for Forest visitors. Within the scenic area, there is a well-maintained paved nature trail that offers an easily navigable walk. Along this path, informative signs and strategically placed benches provide opportunities for learning and relaxation. Additionally, for those seeking a more extensive outdoor adventure, the Ross Creek Trail 142 beckons with its 4.5-mile length, guiding hikers through a densely forested realm of cedars and hemlocks. Please note that overnight stays are not permitted within the scenic area itself, but the nearby Bad Medicine Campground offers accommodations for those in need of extended stays.
