Therriault Pass is a 4-mile out-and-back hike in the Fortine Ranger District of Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana. The trail climbs about 1,600 feet from a low point of 4,789 feet to a high of 6,369 feet. It is a moderate route that works as a standalone outing or a base for exploring the surrounding trails and lakes. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open from June through October. The surface is natural, and both horses and bikes are allowed. Big Therriault Lake Campground sits about 2 miles away and Little Therriault Lake about 2.7 miles, both good bases for an overnight stay. The Therriault X-C Ski and Therriault X-C Ski North Spur trails are each about a mile from the pass.
