The West Boulder Meadows Trail access provides a well-maintained trailhead with parking, a Forest Service campground with 10 sites (no reservations, first-come basis), and a rustic rental cabin located near McLeod, Montana.

The easy 6-mile round-trip trail to the meadows features a sturdy bridge crossing and passes through regenerated aspen forest, offering access to the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness for hiking, fishing, and camping.

Note that the access road traverses private property for the final 14 miles—respect property rights and stay on the designated road.
