Description
This is a ride you do for the scenery rather than the singletrack. It is an out-and-back on about 8 miles of doubletrack/atv trail. Most of the ride give you fantastic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and wilderness areas. Toward the end of the doubletrack, there is a singletrack option that can take you another 6 miles to the wilderness boundary, but after the first half mile it plunges into a basin from which you'll have to climb back out. At this point, you're in truly wild country--only for the experienced and adventurous. There are a number of loop options that incorporate part of this trail and they all require huge vertical gains. If you're up for it, get the Big Sky Area map from Beartooth Publishing and the options will make themselves evident.

Review: I can count on one hand the number of doubletracks I actually recommend and this is one of them. The scenery is beyond compare and almost constant along it's entire length. Lone Mountain, The Sphinx, The Taylor-Hilgard Peaks, the Spanish Peaks and much more await you around every corner and over every hill. The doubletrack is mostly non-technical and there's less than 1600ft elevation differential, but the many ups and downs along the way will make it feel like more--and it's all at altitude to boot.
