Great Divide Section 1 Map B. Colt Wildfire roads closure 7/2023

[CMajernik]

The Colt Fire is burning about 15 miles northwest of Seeley Lake, MT, on the west side of SR 83. As of July 28, FR 4370, FR 4353, FR 667 and FR 720 are temporarily closed. These roads are located on the route south of Holland Lake Rd. and near Richmond Peak. The only way around these closures is to ride on SR 83. Fire behavior can be unpredictable, so SR 83 may be closed depending on when you're in the area. To continue your journey, it might be best to hitch hike a ride in a pickup truck to get through the area quickly.
