Ross Creek Giant Cedars

 

 Ross Creek Cedars Trees are a wonderful activity for the whole family.  They are giant cedar trees that are located in Montana. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive to the location from Sandpoint. Once there it's a flat trail that is a self guided nature walk through the forest of these big giant trees The trial is  .9 mile loop that takes about an hour to 45 minutes. They have signs posted through out the walk that tell about the area and different wildlife that live there.  Some of the trees are 8 feet in diameter and are 175 feet tall. I have never been to the red cedar trees in California but have been told it's similar to them.  Take a lunch and make it a picnic they have picnic tables by the parking area and by the small stream that runs by.

I put this activity in the year-around folder, but do note that in the winter the road is not accessible because of the snow.  But you can snow shoe the road in. 

Here is a link to a website that give more info on the cedar trees. http://www.libbymt.com/areaattractions/rosscreekcedars.htm

I don't have an exact address for it, but click here for Directions   

 The turnoff to the Ross Creek Cedars is found a half mile past the south end of Bull Lake off Montana Highway 56. A 4-mile long, paved windy road climbs to the parking area at the Cedars. The road ends at the parking area and you know you have arrive at the location.

 Note: Make it a day event and then travel to Kootenai Falls in Libby Mt. which is not to far see post here about it.
