Bighead Creek

Bighead Creek is a hard hike in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness, on the Rocky Mountain Ranger District of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. It is an out-and-back route of about 8.8 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of about 2,460 feet, taking the trail from a low point near 5,091 feet to a high point of about 7,567 feet. The Forest Service manages the land. The trail is natural-surfaced and not accessible, and it allows horses but not bikes. The trip is open year-round. The closest neighbors are Deer Creek, about a mile away, and South Fork Sun Low Water, about 1.4 miles off. Kenck Cabin and South Fork Campground, both about 2 miles away, offer camping.
