LIBBY TO CANADA BORDER – 125 miles

The final section of the MTBDR heads north out of Libby on beautiful scenic ridge roads and works its way up to a cabin and viewpoint on the upper reaches of Big Creek Baldy. After descending, the roads get more primitive and overgrown so use extra caution for branches, downfall, and vehicles heading in the opposite direction. As the route meanders along the next ridge, beautiful Lake Koocanusa comes into view, with the tallest bridge in Montana. Consider the short side trip up to Black Butte Lookout before reaching Eureka.

The final stretch passes by homes and farmland, then turns to rugged 2-track before officially ending at a remote parking spot. Here you can follow a walking path to the US/Canada border, clearly indicated by a clearcut alley of trees as far as you can see. NOTE: the border is electronically monitored and crossing the border will activate a response from Homeland Security. Ride Respectfully on this final out-and-back to preserve our right to visit this special place.
