Lower Basin Trail (DH)

Dogs Unknown

This trail is open to foot traffic but it is a downhill trail with jumps and features intended for mountain bikers and therefore may not be the best trail for hiking.

Start at the roundabout parking, Sparky, or at the top of the resort's Great Escape chairlift.

This trail is an easy downhill with jumps of all sizes.

The trail comes out on the 4th switchback and then drops off the road in about 1.4 miles, just watch for the pink tape. The trail also comes out on Schweitzer Mtn Rd. before the 2nd switchback.

Schweitzer recreation district runs a $5 shuttle in the summer months on Saturday and Sundays. Pick ups (10, 12 and 2) are at the bottom parking lot at the railroad tracks.
