Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort
9. Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort
21mi from Bitterroot National Forest
Gallogly Hot Springs, also known as Lost Trail Hot Springs since the 1970s, offers a unique retreat for travelers crossing the Continental Divide at Gibbons Pass. Nestled in a secluded area, this natural hot spring has served as a peaceful resting spot for those embarking on the challenging ascent of the old Indian trail, which climbs approximately 2,000 feet over just three miles. The soothing waters provide a perfect respite before tackling the strenuous journey ahead.
The history of Gallogly Hot Springs dates back to 1892 when a woman built a cabin to keep her invalid son close to the healing waters. Although she only stayed for about two years and left the cabin unfinished, her efforts marked the beginning of human connection to this tranquil site. In 1894, Mr. Denning became the first to channel the hot water through a pipe to his comfortable cabin, which featured a cozy stone fireplace located about a quarter-mile from the springs. Unfortunately, fate intervened when a tree fell and crushed his cabin while he was away, prompting him to relocate.
Today, Gallogly Hot Springs remains a hidden gem, inviting visitors to experience its natural beauty and therapeutic waters. The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring nearby swimming holes, and enjoying the serene environment.

Such a spectacular place to stay!! Just what I needed. Not only is it beautiful on the inside, the bed is INSANELY comfortable (heated blanket was super helpful during a 30 something degree night), and the view in the morning is breathtaking. Pictures don't do it justice. There's everything you need in the tent. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Lynda's property!

I loved staying here. About 1.5 hours south of Missoula in the Bitterroot mountains lies this wonderful camp. It is surrounded by trees, trails, and mountains. Finding it was very easy, checking in was simple and communication was awesome. The photos and small touches of hospitality do not do this space justice. Come for relaxation and amenities, watch the stars at night, and stay warm by the fire. I was blown away and cannot wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Oxen-Le-Fields Montana
We spent 2 incredible nights at Oxen Le Fields. Lynda greeted us upon arriving and her kind and friendly demeanor set a great tone for the trip. We enjoyed driving up to Sula peak and exploring the Bitterroot Valley. The bed was super comfortable and we had a blast being able to camp comfortably on a cool fall weekend. Our last morning we woke up to beautiful snow covered fields and mountains. It was so cozy in the tent, Lynda made sure we had plenty of firewood and the stove and electric blankets kept us very warm. Would highly recommend staying here!

This is our second time staying here, on our way home from white water rafting. This time we stayed in the canvas glamping tent. It was comfortable and perfect for our family of four. It’s quiet, not too far off the highway, but you feel very far away. The view in the morning of the mountains is spectacular. We look forward to stopping in again next year!

Lynda’s tent was so nice to stay in! She is an incredible host, baked fresh cookies and had everything looking perfect. The property is STUNNING and so peaceful up there. I love how she had snacks available, watercolor and rock painting for kids, a hammock, wood stove, heater, and everything you could wish for in a place like that! Clearly, she is passionate about camping and has put in a lot of love into her sites.

It was a very nice place to camp. I rented the tent. Be prepared for many bugs in your area as there is open space at the bottom and earwigs,ants and spiders love the tent. Even with the amount of bugs that I was uncomfortable with, it was such an amazing stay. There's a broom inside the tent, so you can just sweep the bugs away, but they do get into your bedding! The tent is right below the camp hosts. So if you're afraid you don't need to be there is always somebody watching. It is in a beautiful location. If you stay for a longer amount of time, Take your own shower items. I would go back there as much as possible. And they would recommend it to anyone. It was busy but mostly quiet. There are many outdoor activities within driving distance. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. It is a really rare experience.

Lynda was a wonderful host and we felt warmly welcomed from the first moment. The views are just as beautiful as the photos, and the location is peaceful and serene. We enjoyed access to the neighboring forest land for an evening hike. Our accommodations in Tent #1 were cozy and comfortable. We appreciated finding the woodstove stocked and ready to go - perfect for making coffee and breakfast. Water is available from a spigot and restroom facilities are in a small but clean tent with a composting toilet. WiFi and cell service were reliable. We loved our stay. Highly recommend!
