In summer, the Skalkaho Highway from Hamilton to the Georgetown Lake area is a scenic alternative to I-90. In winter, it is the kind of trail that snowmobilers dream about. Closed to automobile traffic, it allows privileged views of frozen Skalkaho Falls, tall peaks and deep canyons. From there, open areas and ungroomed trails offer a wide variety of terrain for all skill levels. A wide variety of food and lodging is available in Hamilton and throughout the Bitterroot Valley.
