Driving Directions
Online maps and GPS can be inaccurate as you get closer. Cell phone service is spotty in the mountains. Please save the directions/map to your phone ahead of time or print out the directions and bring them with you, as it is very easy to get lost up here.
30 Minutes from Butte, Montana
The closest large city to Sage Mountain Center is Butte, Montana. From I-90 in Butte take the South Harrison Ave. Exit and continue south out of town, about 3 miles. Turn left on Hwy 2 towards Whitehall. Drive about 13 miles (between mile marker 70 and 71). Turn left at all the mail boxes on Toll Mountain Road (sometimes the Toll Mountain Road sign in missing so look for the mailboxes).Toll Mountain Road is a dirt road and ties in to Rader Creek Road, so don’t let the brown Forest Service sign confuse you.
Drive 1.5 miles towards Toll Mountain Campground. Look for the Sage Mountain Trail sign on the right. Do not turn on Rader Creek Road. Go straight at the Sage Mountain Trail sign on the little dirt road (SMC is 1.5 miles from the sign). Enter private land over the cattle guard and continue up the hill past a couple of dwellings. Take the right fork on Forest Timbers and head down hill. You will go past a big gray house on the right. Take the first left and drive all the way up the draw and towards the end of the road. You will see our fence, garden, sign, and driveway up on the left.
80 Minutes From Bozeman, Montana
Head west on I-90 towards Butte. Before the pass, exit the interstate at Whitehall, go under the overpass and drive through town to the “T” in the road. Turn right at the fire station and continue out of town on Hwy 2 towards Butte. Drive about 13 miles into the mountains (between mile marker 70 and 71) and turn right on Toll Mountain Road at all the mail boxes. (Do not turn on Quarry Rd. as this is NOT a fully developed road.) Sometimes the Toll Mountain Road sign in missing so look for the mailboxes. This road ties into Rader Creek Road, so don’t let the brown Forest Service sign confuse you.
