In the southwestern corner of Montana, nestled against the Idaho border, Hell Roaring Creek is a lovely and seldom-travelled section of the Continental Divide Trail. It begins in a sun-dappled forest, which shortly gives way to small meadows and rocky slopes as it crosses Cole Creek and winds around Nemesis Mountain. The trail continues across the base of several avalanche paths with wonderful views of the Centennial Valley. Soon, you’ll reach the trail’s namesake gorge, where the creek plunges through a dramatic rocky canyon towards the valley below.
