1. North Wall Loop (out of Erik Molvar's book). This starts at South Fork Teton and takes T165 over Headquarters Creek Pass to Gate Park then along Red Shale Creek T130 to the North Wall Trail T174N. I understand ALOT of this section was a major burn. It appears that the North Wall Trail is the highlight of this loop, then return on Open Creek T116 to Route Creek Pass T108 and finally Lonesome Ridge T154 back.
2. Holland Lake Loop (Which Richard Lyon recommended) Starts at East Holland LK Trailhead to Upper Holland Lk on Owl Creek T35, then the Saphire Lk T110 past Necklace Lakes to Salmon Forks. Then south on South Fork Flathead T263 and Bartlet Creek T129 back to Pendant and return to Holland Lake via Pendant Pass T110.
3. The classic Chinese Wall: Benchmark and follow CDT up West Fork Sun T203 along wall. Do an out and back to Larch Hill Pass, and come back via Moose Creek T131 and North Fork Sun T261 and T202 to Pretty Prairie. Falcon book doesn't like Moose Creek Trail.
Camping is prohibited in a portion of the North Fork of the Sun River between October 15 and December 15 and yearlong in the area east of the Continental Divide between Salt Mtn and Cliff Mtn and approximately 1 mile down Trail #131 in the Moose Creek drainage. Specific maps and location of the above noted 2 areas are attached to the special order available at Rocky Mountain RD and Lewis Clark NF offices.
