About this map

Hoodoo Pass stands as a primary crossing along the divide between Idaho and Montana, marking a point where the Lolo National Forest meets the Clearwater National Forest. This high-altitude drainage divide is the source for several significant water systems, including the North Fork St Joe River in the north and the North Fork Clearwater River to the south. The landscape is characterized by prominent high points such as Trap Point and Short Point, which overlook a network of alpine basins including Hoodoo Meadows and the waters of Hoodoo Lake.

Transportation through this isolated section of the Bitterroot Range is defined by the Superior Rd and the Avery North Rd, which follow the difficult contours of Clearwater Ridge. A lone Radio Tower near the pass serves as a modern landmark in an area otherwise defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous named drainages like Trapper Creek and Goose Creek carving deep into the rugged Idaho interior.
