R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal 62 Aug 5 Missoula & vicinity, Montana possible routes up Lolo Peak. There are two obvious possibilities: 1) via McClain Creek Rd to Carlton Lakes which lies at the east base of Lolo Peak (9075 Ft), 2) hike from Mormon Lookout road via Mill Creek Trail. The 1st route would be the quickest route if a jeep were available, but probably not otherwise. The name "McClain Creek Rd" is rather misleading. The Stevensville Ranger District Map, 1964 for Bitterroot National Forest shows a road up McClain Creek. This is not the correct road. The map shows another road further south that goes to or toward Carlton Lakes. This is the correct road is labeled McClain Creek Rd along the highway. The map shows a jeep trail leaving [illegible] road at one point & later intersecting this road again. At the 1st takeoff of the jeep trail there is a sign pointing the way to Carlton Lakes & this is the correct route to follow, rather than continuing to the second intersection of the two since the main road was washed out before this latter point. The jeep road is often steep & loose and at one point I had to take a short switch backing side road to make it up the slope, but the VW finally passed made it , the second jet with McClain Creek Rd. before the slope was too steep for the VW. At this point I was further from the Lolo Peak than I would
