Frazier - Triple Ceek is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 1.7 miles in the West Fork Ranger District of Montana's Bitterroot National Forest. The route climbs from a low point of about 4,730 feet to a high of about 5,162 feet, a gain of roughly 434 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and lies within Forest Service land. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 43°F, and September highs around 73°F with fewer wet days than the spring and late fall months. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures up high run cooler. The hike starts close to several other trails. Moose Meadows - Triple Creek and Rays - Triple Creek are both within about a third of a mile. The closest camping is Medicine Point Lookout, about 7 miles away.
