Overview

Located in the Beaverhead Deerodge National Forest near Virginia City, MT, Warm Springs Creek Trail is the prettiest trail from Centennial Divide road to the Gravelly Range . For the first 2.5 miles, this trail runs through a beautiful, narrow, twisty canyon with rocky bluffs above and Warm Springs Creek babbling gently below. After which, this trail begins to switchback up the mountainside climbing to 8500 feet with breathtaking views to the west and connecting with Gravelly Range Trail. Once on top of the Gravelly Mountain Range, one travels in the sub-alpine grasslands with wildflowers that present fields of different colors seemingly around each bend. Everyone is sure to enjoy the breathtaking views and clean mountain air, and hopefully some wildlife sightings! There's also speculation that this trail was the hiding spot of Forrest Fenn's treasure. Are you really sure it's been found?
