About Lookout Pass

Printable map

Lookout Pass carries I-90 over the Bitterroot Range at 4,710 ft. Here's what to watch, and when it bites.

When it closes

Lookout Pass is a steep freight climb on I-90, and winter storms bring chain requirements for trucks and slow traffic on both grades. Fourth of July Pass, west of Coeur d'Alene, is a lower climb on the same drive.

Freight and ski traffic

I-90 here is the main truck route between the Northwest and Montana. The ski area exit is at the summit, so skiers merge with freight at the top of the grade.
