34 – Rocky Point Lolo
From IdahoClimbingGuide.com:
This peak has been used as a fire lookout since 1934 and is still staffed. The heavy forest in this area gives way to a rocky summit and the lookout structure. Lewis and Clark came by the peak on their way to the Pacific. The view to the west from the lookout includes a big section of ridges that the Lolo Trail (Lewis and Clark’s route) follows west.

9 Check-Ins
This was our first site of the day. We then did 300 miles looking for shortcut to no avail!
This was a lot of fun... a little rocky and snowy in some spots.
This was really cool. Pretty decent forest service road with plenty of rocks at the upper end
This is a 2, but probably a 2.5 on a bigger bike due to it being a bit rocky near the top. I planned on going through from loscha lodge to 12 firther down the road but google directed me to a dodgy track and a dead end so I made it an out and back. The major benefit of this Challenge poit is being able to do lolo on the way there 🙂
The views are fantastic from this lookout. We couldn't stay long because of the 4th of July rain. For sure, this one is a must see and is ridable on a heavy adventure motorcycle.
My maintenance guy said that he was up there last Tuesday, cleared some downed trees, but still too much snow. I ended up tamping a 40 yard “path” through the biggest drift, and MADE IT! Road was easy and fun, except the snow, which should be gone soon.
I tried. Got to the last section 2 miles from the lookout. There was a tree down then a snowbank and a bigger tree that I could see. A little early yet. Numerous trees were recently cut out on the way up. Roads in decent shape.
It was more snow than rocky that day
