The North Fork of the Flathead has many great areas to explore on horseback. There is a extensive maze of old logging and forest service roads. Connie and I joined one of our neighbors for a nice day ride up in the Big Creek area. The trails will give you access to the top of the ridges and some great views.

The forecast was for late afternoon thunderstorms, but the weather turned sour early. When you are up this high on the mountain a thunderstorm can get pretty intense. 

So we elected to return down the mountain amidst the rain/hail/snow mix

As we came off the mountain we had moments of sunshine mixed in with the rain.

The North Fork is a very nice place to take a day ride. Easy access and fairly safe easy trails. Great for a leisurely day in the saddle!
