ギャラティン山脈のおすすめMTBライド

Great nontechnical hike to the summit of one of Bozeman's iconic southern peaks. A few stream crossings for filtration if you want to go light. Some steeper grades just up from the lake, but mostly very manageable grades, gorgeous views! Mountain goats were seen as well. Highly recommended.

don'tiss the turn up the single track. My tracker went into sleep, but if you sleep you might miss the turn

Easily accessible and beautiful Crescent Lake is a great spot to ride if you're limited on time.

The singular cabin at Mystic Lake is reservable year round and can only be accessed via foot, bike, or horse. The lake is open for recreational uses, but no motorized vehicles are allowed on the waters. If you want to check out the cabin as you're passing by, be aware that there might be people with reservations staying there already.

Chestnut Mountain tops out at 7,627 feet. It has great views of Mount Ellis and other peaks in Custer Gallatin National Forest, and you can sometimes even see down to Mystic Lake. On the other side of the highway, you have open views of the Bridger Peaks and Crazy Mountains.

You can't ride on Bunsen Peak Trail, but from this intersection you'll enjoy views of that dramatic summit.

An interesting set of angular, flatiron-shaped rock formations that many only glimpse from the road, The Hoodoos make for a worthwhile spot to pause for a snack and some shade.

From this overlook, you'll stand approximately 1,000 feet above Osprey Falls, and directly across from the frighteningly, if understandably-named, Sheepeater Cliffs. Always remember to dismount near steep cliffs or edges and stay on allowed trails.
