We are your gateway to a wonderland with approximately 200 miles of groomed trails and nearly 2,000 miles of National Forest Service roads to take you through pristine alpine forests, along ridges with spectacular views and into deep powder bowls.

There are mountain top rides with incredible views, groomed trails, deep powder bowls for play and pristine alpine forests. Columbia Falls is a center for snowmobiling with trails leading to the summit of Big Mountain or Mount Marston lookout with an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet.
