The internet didn’t have much info on FS412 from Delmoe Lake up to the CDT. Well, the description said steep, sandy, rutted atv trail. We were looking for a way to get closer to the giant statue Our Lady of the Rockies that didn’t involve 4000’+ of climbing and we were looking for adventure. We …
Derek found us a route to incorporate lots of singletrack riding and the Milwaukee Rail Trail here in Butte. Our ride was a loop of 17 miles with 2347′ of climbing. We started from the Lower Eagles Nest Trailhead in Thompson Park and climbed up Placer Trail and then Grading Camp Trail. The trail is …
The other day we rode out and back on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) heading north from Homestake Pass and this time we rode south. A lot of people do it as an out and back but we opted to make it a loop so we could ride a couple other trails also. Our ride …

I assume this lake is called Coffin Lake because of it’s shape but I couldn’t find anything on the internet about it. We started this ride on the gravel rode at Fisherman’s Point on the banks of Hebgen Lake. This way we could get a nice warm up before hitting the singletrack climb. However, you …
Mile Creek is another section of the Continental Divide Trail in the Island Park, ID area. It is tucked in the western flank of the Henrys Lake Mountain Range at the border of Idaho & Montana. The review on Trailforks said that grizzlies move through this trail all the time and have even been seen …
We had an unplanned day off from riding. The night before after using our toilet for #1, when I used my foot to press the lever to flush, some little plastic part snapped off. Turns out it’s a pretty pivotal piece in that it’s what opens up the toilet to flush. Well of course we …
