It is a spectacular region to travel through no matter how you go about it. Marias Pass climbs through the rough and rugged Rocky Mountains and allows the visitor to pass through some of the most beautiful scenery found anywhere in the United States. The weather in Marias Pass is unpredictable so be sure to go prepared. You could pass from sunshine to rain to snow as you venture through aspen forest and along the backs of the Flathead River.
