Friends of Lolo Peak is a citizens' group of local residents and businesses, hikers, hunters, anglers and skiers dedicated to protecting the outstanding natural integrity, scenic values, and traditional uses of the Lolo Peak area for future generations.

Friends of Lolo Peak was formed in 2004 over shared concerns about the potential impacts of the proposed Bitterroot Resort, which would bring "North America's largest ski resort" to the public lands of the Bitterroot Valley. We are concerned specifically with the proposed resort's potential impact to the public land in the Lolo Peak area, and are therefore not opposed to the development of Tom Maclay's private land.

Our Petition to protect Lolo Peak as backcountry is still going strong with 4000+ signatures!
