Calx Mountain is a hard hike in the Libby Ranger District of Montana's Kootenai National Forest, about 6 miles from the trailhead. The route is an out-and-back that climbs from a low point of about 4,400 feet to a high of roughly 6,467 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 1,660 feet. The trail is natural-surface and allows bikes, so it works for hikers and riders alike. The Forest Service manages the land, and the open season runs from May 1 to November 30. Wolf Mountain sits just 0.4 miles away, and Cow Creek is about 1.5 miles off. Marl Creek Tie and Divide Trail 6 (Satire) are both about 2.6 miles from the summit.
