Description

This trail's close proximity to Bozeman means it can be popular. However, there are lots of little nooks and crannies along the corridor that allow runners to step off for a relaxing sit.

Possible extensions that would lengthen this excursion can be developed by linking up to Truman Gulch, The College M Trail, or Sypes Canyon via the Bridger Foothills Trail.
