The Bitterroot River begins it northward journey at Lost Trail Pass at the Montana-Idaho border. Farther north, the Bitterroot's east fork joins the mainstem's journey north from the Sapphire Mountains. Once in the Bitterroot Valley, the river flows wide through Darby, Hamilton, and Lolo, Montana, eventually joining the Clark Fork River just west of Missoula.
