Newton Mountain is a hard, out-and-back hike in Montana's Kootenai National Forest, within the Three Rivers Ranger District. The trail climbs from a low point of 2,802 feet to a high of 5,929 feet, a total gain of 3,168 feet over a route of about 11.7 miles. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open from May 1 to November 30. The route carries both bikes and horses, and its natural surface makes it a versatile option for different kinds of outings. The Newton Mountain/Cyclone Creek TH 205 trailhead is the parking point for the trip. Red Top Campground sits about a mile away, and the Red Top hike is just over a mile off. Roderick Ridge and Baldy Mountain are also within a few miles, so the area offers a cluster of trails and campgrounds for a longer stay.
