How to get to Georgetown Lake MT ?

Is Georgetown Lake near Butte Montana ?

I kited and filmed A&A once this summer at Florence
It would be nice to watch them snow kite.

From Hood Hood River I go northeast to Spokane
and then southeast thru Idaho to Montana ?
Looks like 600+ miles (one long day of driving)
and a long roundabout.

What resort were Alex and Aaron standing in front of ?
I am sure camping would be pretty cold this time of year.

Just Curious

Southeast of Missoula about 100 miles. Turn south at Drummond, travel through somewhat flat farm country, then up through a narrow, winding picturesque canyon to the lake, which sits at high altitude in a beautiful valley with the Anaconda-Pintlar wilderness mountains as a backdrop. There is a motel-restaurant on the south end of the lake; otherwise not much for accomodations, although the little town of phillipsburg has a hotel and motel just up the road. If you're a skier, you may want to hit the nearby ski area - Discovery Basin. It used to be just a beginner-intermediate type area, but ten years ago they opened a steep ungroomed back area that can be fantastic at times. Because that valley has a reputation of being cold, I don't recommend camping unless you have winter camping experience. Tony

Georgetown Lake Lodge has 11 double rooms...usually $79 a night, but Karen has been giving discounts to kiters. Drop me a line at keith@mticesports.com if anyone wants to come up and play! Also, we are hosting the PASA snowkite summit jan 6-10 to certify snowkite instructors. Should be great riding/ filming!

I found it on the map now

This looks like the same place a friend of mine
mentioned from last winter that gives discounts
to kiters.

Will try and make it out for the PASA event

Thanks
