Logan-Dirtyface

Logan-Dirtyface is a 24-mile out-and-back hike in the Hungry Horse Ranger District of Montana's Flathead National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from a low point of about 4,000 feet to a high of about 6,280 feet, with an elevation gain of roughly 2,560 feet, and is rated hard. The route is natural-surfaced and allows horses, so it works for both foot traffic and mounted travel. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at E Glacier show July and August highs around 74°F with lows in the mid-40s. That station sits about 1,500 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The hike is open year-round. Close by, Baptiste Lookout is about 2.6 miles away and Spruce Lookout about 4.2 miles, while Devil's Corkscrew Campground and Vinegar Mtn. both lie within about 4.5 miles.
