As the sport of mountain biking continues to grow in popularity across the country, many of Montana’s small towns are developing trails and infrastructure to improve access for riders.
The International Mountain Bicycling Association named Helena a silver-level destination, and Butte continues to create new trails near the city. New bike parks have opened across the state, including the Legacy Bike Park in Lakeside, Discovery Bike Park in Philipsburg and Marshall Mountain in Missoula.
For laid-back riders, head to Makoshika State Park for mellow trails between striking badland formations.
