The Massif! Suggest change

The Little McGregor Massifs are a large group of (mostly shorter) crags scattered throughout the Little McGregor Lake area, about 40 minutes west of Kalispell, just north of McGregor Lake.

While the walls at McGregor are not particularly tall, the rock is the same quartzite found at Stone Hill near Eureka meaning excellent crimping on the sport routes, good trad. protection, and generally solid rock.

If you're already driving west to the Kila Crags from Kalispell it's only 20 minutes further down the road (or a quick detour if you're driving US 2 east from Libby) and worth a visit!

Other notes: The campground/parking lot has a pit toilet. Swimming in Little McGregor is nice and there's a spot across the lake that's become popular to water solo.

Getting There Suggest change

On Highway 2, east or west, follow the sign for the Little McGregor Lake forest service campground/fishing access (the driveway is a few hundred feet east and across the highway from McGregor Lake Lodge). Drive up the paved-then-dirt road (stay straight at the three forks) for about a half-mile and park near the pit toilet in the parking lot. Behind Camp Spot 77 there is a blocked (bouldered) logging road — follow this obvious road and then a good trail to the crags.
