Blacktail Creek Trail (997) offers a cool secluded wall in heavy woods and is also an access trail to Pillick Ridge. The upper portion of the creek runs year-round, but the lower part only until late August. Horse users should pack in feed. The top portion offers an excellent campsite and a limited view of the Clark Fork Valley.
