Boulder Creek is a 2.2-mile out-and-back hike in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, part of the Spotted Bear Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The trail climbs from about 5,350 feet to roughly 6,647 feet, a gain of 1,324 feet, and is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surface, not accessible, and allows horses but not bikes. The trail lies entirely within designated wilderness, and it is open year-round. Marshall Creek starts just 0.2 miles away, and Pyramid Pass and Crimson Peak are both within about a mile and a half. Spruce Creek is roughly 2.9 miles off.
