The cabin at the Top of Mt. Wise is a great place for
an overnight camping trip. The cabin is mainly used by cross

Besides the parts of the trail that goes to the Swan
River most of the trail stays above the tree line.
The trail is over 20 miles long but will
take all day if you go sight seeing.
This trail can be
combined with the Red
