Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Humbug Spires Wilderness Study Area is a 11,175-acre (4,522 ha) roadless area, located 26 miles (42 km) south of Butte, Montana. Impressive granite outcroppings, part of the Boulder Batholith, rise 300–600 feet (90–180 m) and provide outstanding rock climbing opportunities, most of which range from 5.5 to 5.7 in difficulty, although routes to challenge all levels of ability are present. A three-mile (one way) trail starts at the parking area and winds along the creek through an old-growth forest, and then climbs a ridge and eventually reaches the “Wedge," one of the more prominent spires.

Recreation activities include hiking, rockclimbing, sightseeing, photography, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, primitive camping, and small stream fishing. Offsite developed camping is available five miles away at the Divide Bridge Campground.
