Medicine Lodge Road is located just south of Dillon, Montana. This trail is the second leg of the Big Sheep Creek Backcountry Byway, a remote and mostly undisturbed treasure in the southwestern corner of Montana hidden by the Rocky Mountains. After passing through the steep Rocky Mountain bluffs, this trail travels through the vast Medicine Lodge Valley. It's thought that this trail was once part of the Bannack Road, as The Old Bannack Road splits off at Waypoint 8. Many miners and settlers passed through these valleys and mountains looking to fulfill their dreams. In many ways, this mostly undisturbed area offers modern-day explorers to experience many of the sights and wonders just the same.
