Bitterroots: Bass Creek to Bass Lake

Nice uphill hike with most grades only 10% to 20%.  Trail follows the creek with many places to stop along the way. Fishing is available. Approximate mileage to some of the stops:  2.5 miles to log dam pond (also Selway-Bitteroot Wilderness Boundary) 9 miles to Bass Lake.
From Bass Lake you can continue into the Wilderness by going right on trail #311 or you can turn left on trail #301 and go to Kootenai Creek Trail (#53).
