Origins of Lolo

"Lolo" probably evolved from "Lou-Lou", a pronunciation of "Lawrence," a French-Canadian fur trapper killed by a grizzly bear and buried at Grave Creek. The first written evidence of the name "Lolo" appears in 1831 when fur trader John Work refers in his journal to Lolo Creek as "Lou Lou." In an 1853 railroad survey and map, Lieutenant John Mullan spelled the creek and trail "Lou Lou." However, by 1865 the name was shortened to Lolo and is currently the name of a national forest, town, creek, mountain peak, mountain pass and historic trail in west central Montana.

Support undevelopment of Lolo Peak!

I support the conservation of our public lands, near to and including Carlton Ridge and Lolo Peak, in its current undeveloped state and support its continued management as a primitive use area. I do not support the development of a destination ski resort that would use public lands on or near Carlton Ridge or Lolo Peak, and wish to deny any effort to develop this area beyond its current state.

All proceeds go to support the Friends of Lolo Peak.

Climbing Lolo Peak

Lolo Peak guards the northern limits of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness just 15 miles southwest of Missoula. This non-technical summit -the northernmost of the 9,000-foot Bitterroot peaks-provides a fine vantage for outdoor enthusiasts beginning in early July each summer. Yet one should not dismiss the mountain's wild character because of its heavy use and proximity to a major population center, for beyond the peak lies the most extensive wilderness complex in the contiguous United States- 4 million acres of primeval wildlands known collectively as the Greater Salmon-Selway ecosystem. Highlights: Attractive high-elevation scenery and a northeast view of Missoula.
