State Line (Granite Peak) is a hard hike in the Ninemile Ranger District of Montana's Lolo National Forest, about 6 miles from the town of Lolo Hot Springs. The route is an out-and-back of roughly 12.5 miles, with a one-way climb of about 775 feet from a low point of 6,567 feet to a high of 7,561 feet. The trail is a natural-surface route that allows both horses and bikes, according to the Forest Service's trail records. That makes it a flexible option for riders and pack animals. White Creek Divide sits just 0.2 miles away, and North Fork Granite and White Mountain are both within 3 miles. For an overnight base, Lee Creek Campground is about 6 miles off.
