Description: This is a new addition to the Continental Divide Trail. Go through the gate to the west with the CDT sign. There are a couple pieces of doubletrack--take the one with another CDT sign. As you reach the top of the first climb, look for singletrack to the right with yet another CDT sign heading into the woods. This is where the fun starts. for the next 7 miles, you can have a great time on well-designed, flowy, roller coaster singletrack. You're in dense woods most of the time, so you don't always have CDT-type views, but what's under your knobbies is mostly sweet. As of 2007, much of the trail is new, so there are some soft, sandy, difficult sections, but they should become packed over time, making the whole trail superb.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

This ride had some good scenery, but was far from a good mountain bike ride. It would be good for a new rider. Meanders through the trees most of the ride. No real climbs and no real downhills...it like a nice mellow hike, except I was on my bike. I did not think it was worth the drive out there. I would go straight to the top of the pass and hit the Toll TH.

This is a fantastic trail, it is the newest addition to the CDT in the Butte area. It is part of the Butte 100 bike race
