Piquett Mountain
About
Piquett Mountain is a summit in the West Fork Ranger District of Montana's Bitterroot National Forest, roughly 14 miles from the small town of Conner. It sits in a corner of the forest with several trails and campgrounds within a few miles, which makes it easy to pair with other outings in the area. The closest trails are Drop Creek, about 2 miles away, and Little Boulder, a little over 3 miles off. For an overnight base, Rombo and Slate Creek Campground both lie about 5 miles from the summit.
