Trailhead is on the left of the road, not the right (as I wrote earlier). It is quite apparent, though, when you drive up to it. Big wooden sign, nice Forest Service toilet building, parking area.
From Butte, drive south on Interstate 15 approx 20 miles. You will come to Moose Creek, a "no-services" exit. This is well before Dillon.
Exit at Moose Creek, and follow the good (by Montana standards) dirt road generally east and somewhat north to the trailhead for Humbug Spires. The trailhead is on the right, and the road does continue on, so make sure you stop at the right spot. Roughly 6 miles from the interstate (I think, I can't remember from the last time I was out there). Park at the trailhead, which offers topos of the area and a pit toilet.
Hike up the trail for about 4 miles. The description on this page takes it from there.
