Climbers' Access to Totem PeakFred Burr Creek and Reservoir are named after Fred H. Burr, a horse and cattle trader who moved to the Bitterroot Valley from Salt Lake City, Utah, where he made money trading with emigrants moving along the Oregon Trail.
Proceed west on Bear Creek Road (about 3 miles south of Victor) from US Highway 93 for 2.3 miles where it “tees” into Red Crow Road.
Turn left (south) onto Red Crow Road and follow the road as it makes a 90 degree turn to the west.
 Go straight through this gate
Go straight (west) at the 4-way stop onto the gravel, Fred Burr Road.
The road dead-ends at the trailhead loop after a couple more miles.
The trailhead has restroom facilities and parking for 10 or so cars, trucks, and stock trailers.
This trailhead is designated for day use only, however I have left my car here for extended trips. Use caution leaving valuables in your car, out of sight out of mind.
