Ingles Creek

This challenging 7-mile loop climbs steeply through pine forest and alpine meadows before emerging onto the windswept expanse of the Silver Run Plateau. With expansive views, wildflower-filled basins, and a chance to spot mountain goats, this route showcases the raw beauty of the Beartooths. Best tackled mid-summer to fall, it’s a rewarding adventure for experienced hikers craving high-country solitude.
