Mountain Biking Bangtail Divide

*****   Add a review
#13 of 265 mountain bike trails in Montana
#1,076 in the world

This trail is best from South to North. It starts out with plenty of switchbacks that will get your lungs and legs warmed up! From there, it levels out with beautiful views and you will continue with classic XC riding wtih ups and downs. There is some more climbing towards the end, but then you have several miles of down, so enjoy!

Be sure to stop and take in the beautiful views.

This ride is intermediate. If you are a strong rider, it should not take more than 4.5 hours with short breaks, and if you like a slower pace or are a beginner, it may take upwards to 6 hours. Start early, as to avoid hot afternoons!

Parts of this trail are multi-use and you may encounter dirt bikes, horses and hikers.

A: Ride it as an out and back from the North end. When the youngster gets tired its all downhill back.
