Devils Club is a 4.2-mile loop hike in Montana's Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, within the Cabinet Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail's natural surface and moderate rating make it a straightforward choice for a day in the backcountry. The route gains about 3,182 feet from a low point of roughly 3,600 feet to a high of about 6,600 feet. Bikes aren't allowed, and the trail is not accessible. Several other outings lie within a few miles. Dad Peak is about 1.9 miles away and St Paul Lake about 2.6 miles. Snowshoe Pipeline sits about 4 miles off. Bull River Guard Station, a campground, is about 5 miles away.
