Up Up Ridge is a hard hike on natural trail in the Superior Ranger District of Lolo National Forest in Montana. The route is 9.5 miles long and rises from about 5,700 feet to 7,304 feet, a gain of 699 feet, over an out-and-back course. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July and August highs reach about 70°F with lows near 50°F, and those months see only six or seven wet days, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Mullan Pass. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the ridge's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail is open year-round, and the Forest Service allows horses and bikes. Within a couple of miles you'll find the Up Up Creek and UP-UP / DEER CREEK hikes, the Up Up Lookout campground, and the Deer Creek Campground.
