Mountain Biking Chief Joseph Pass Area Trails

  Add a review
#43 of 265 mountain bike trails in Montana
#3,212 in the world

The rides on Chief Joseph Pass range from amazing singletrack to forest roads. A
large section of the Continental Divide Trail traces the west edge of the trail
system. Trails run through wide open valleys, thick pine forest and areas of
burned forest from the large fires in 2000.

    *****

    This trail is a workout and a great ride for intermediate to advanced riders. Be prepared for some short hike a bike. The trail is faint or hard to find in spots so a map or a GPS track is quite helpful. It is a great singletrack trail with good climbs and descents. You will feel like Lewis and Clark on this one! Its out there. Due to trail elevation, it is only snow free in July, Aug, Sept., probably.

    Reviewing Three Mile Ridge:
    *****

    Wow. Just wow. One of my all time favorites.

    The views are amazing. The downhill rocks.

    The CDT in this area has so many possible options for further exploring too.
