Description: The rides starts with a long fire-road climb, stay on the main road to a large grassy meadow. The road descends slightly, take the single track here to the left until you meet an old boggy 4wd road. Continue on this road until you see another single track go right at a small meadow. Follow this single track, top of the climb is about a mile then a great descent. Some steep, rocky, root drops near the top, later many bermed and banked turns. The descent ends after a series of switchbacks at the Brackett Creek Trailhead. Continue south on the paved road about 5 miles to start point.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

This is part of a larger trail called Bangtail Divide. The full trail is about 23.5 miles long... probably 95% singletrack. You can start at either end; Brackett Creek or Stone Creek. Stone Creek is a few miles closer to Bozeman on Bridger Canyon rd. Different folks have different preferences as to which way to ride it but it's fun both ways. Not having a shuttle causes either a ~10 mile road ride or 23.5 mile trail ride back to the car.

Nice somewhat long but easy climb on a forest road to get you warmed up for a killer descent. Add in great scenery and close proximity to Bozone Brewing in Bozeman and you've got yourself**reat day. If you're up for more than the 16 miles, you can hang a right on the Bangtail Divide trail at the top on Grassy Mountain before you turn around and ride the descent to Bracket Creek trailhead. The 5 miles of road ride at the end is a piece of cake, 2 small climbs before 2-3 miles of downhill with excellent view of the Bridger Range on your right. Good times.

This trail is super fun. Long technically easy climb. Great singletrack downhill that leaves that 12 year old grin on your face.
