Baker Lake Trail, a shining example of stewardship success, is a short, but steep, hike into the Selway-Bitteroot Wilderness offers a peaceful retreat to multiple mountain lakes.
The 2.5-mile hike begins with steep switchbacks to Baker Point, an outcropping of rock formations that overlooks the Anaconda Range and Sapphire Mountains. Catch your breath and enjoy the view, before continuing to Baker Lake nestled under Trapper Peak.
Extend your adventure by making your way up to Middle Lake and Gem Lake in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.
Wild Montana’s Shining Mountains Chapter dedicates several days each year to clean up illegal fire rings and pack out garbage along the trail.
