About John Long Mountains

The John Long Mountains are a rugged and remote mountain range located in western Montana. Situated in the Bitterroot National Forest, the range features dramatic granite peaks, deep glacial valleys, and a landscape sculpted by glaciation. The terrain is steep and challenging, with numerous high-altitude lakes and alpine meadows interspersed among the towering summits. The range's remoteness and lack of established trails make it a true wilderness experience for adventurous outdoor enthusiasts.
