R.E. Johnson 1967 Journal 130 August 19 Missoula, Missoula Co. to Racetrack Pk, Granite Co, Montana (cont) Indian Meadows 20.5 miles Trail to left. Mud Lake 4 Racetrack Lake 7 Albicaulis Lake 2 road to right Alpine Lake 2.5 Hidden Lakes Trail 2.5 The jet is near a small creek and there are a couple camp sites. The main creek is through the trees to the south. The road from here on is rough, lose & steep & my VW couldn't get sufficient traction to make it, so I parked at the jet & packed up the road. Both Albicaulis & Alpine Lakes have earth dams & the water level is down leaving ugly shore lines. Apparently there were natural lakes in these locations prior to the dams however. Timber surrounds both lakes. None of my maps indicate roads going much beyond Danielsville. The road to Alpine lake branches to the right at a creek crossing just prior to reaching Albicaulis Lake. A trail leads from Alpine lake north over Hidden Pass (1 or 1.5 miles) & down into the head of Rock Creek drainage (Hidden Lakes). The trail is in timber all the way to the pass & crosses 2 creeks in route. The trail doesn't break into the open until the north lip of the pass is reached. Then the trail descends a steep slope via switchback to about a dozen lakes & ponds below. Racetrack Peak (9524 ft) lies west of the pass (8400ft) and is easily reached
