Mountain Biking Homestake To Pipestone Pass

*****   Add a review
#10 of 265 mountain bike trails in Montana
#874 in the world

Buttery smooth singletrack with really fun rock features throughout, in a cool bouldery landscape. The trail is ~75% climbing for about 5 miles to the top, where there's a nice view of Butte. Climbs on the way out are intermediate-friendly but a decent workout. From the top, the trail drops down to Pipestone pass, merging with the Beaver Pond trail connector on the way and spitting you out on highway 2 just south of Pipestone pass (not to be confused with the Pipestone BLM trail area to the east). You can ride the whole thing as an out-and-back (19.5 miles) or turn around at the top for a 10 mile ride that's a lot of fun. The climb back up from the Pipestone pass side is pretty stout, so pack a lunch.
