        Montana It's practically in the name mountain biking. Montana is a big state with a small population, and trails galore. There are many communities surrounded by dense trail networks, such as Missoula, Bozeman, Butte, and Helena, and there are small mountain towns with great access to big mountain epics, such as Red Lodge, Whitefish, or Philipsburg. In addition, cities such as Billings and Great Falls are finding the potential in rugged open lands nearby. Finally, there are also lift-served bike parks at Whitefish, Big Sky, and Philipsburg.

        High Ore Connector
        • 100 ★ 3.9 • 4,665 ft • 53 ft • 1,456 •
        This is seamless with . The segment shown here connects Green Eagle loop and the bottom of Never Sweat/access rd.
        8
        Lower High Ore
        • 100 ★ 4.2 • 2 miles • 547 ft • 1,437 •
        Bi-directional, but definitely the best way to climb to the ridge. There's a fun rock face alternate line that can be ridden both ways. The main trail is obvious and quite popular. Switchbacks start off easy and increase in difficulty...
        11
        Green Eagle North
        • 95 ★ 4.4 • 1 mile • 56 ft • 1,416 •
        North half of the first loop built at Copper City. Low angle trail, wide singletrack through sagebrush and grassland. Brand new fall of 2017!
        37
        Mountain to Meadow
        • 100 ★ 4.9 • 5 miles • 165 ft • 1,439 •
        This has been newly rebuilt for 2023 and it rips. Huge berms have been put in to keep your speed up, and the trail is super fast. Nice views of the valley as to your left when the trees clear. Some of the original trail is still there...
        36
        Painted Hills
        • 100 ★ 4.9 • 4 miles • 635 ft • 1,256 •
        This trail is covers rolling terrain and connects to the Triple Tree trails, providing a connection from Main Street of Bozeman to the foothills of the Gallatin Mountains. Dogs need to be on leash for this trail, the locals get cranky.
        95
        Leverich Canyon
        • 100 ★ 4.4 • 5 miles • 1,265 ft • 1,380 •
        Great ride down, but watch out for the two creek crossings and root systems from trailside trees. Head up the trail. At the fork, head left as the sign suggests. This is very much a one way loop. Climb for a while. Check out the old...
        33
        Otter Pop Warning!
        • 100 ★ 4.6 • 1 mile • 52 ft • 1,360 •
        A fast and flowy trail with recently rebuilt large berms and optional features and gaps. This is the best place to start at Spencer, nothing is too technical or mandatory, just fun and fast.
        10
        Ewok
        • 100 ★ 4.1 • 1 mile • 0 ft • 1,263 •
        is by far the preferred trail to return to the main Rattlesnake trail head. It's a super fun, fast, and flowy trail when descending, but WATCH OUT there are a lot of other trail users due to its close proximity to the trail head. It is...
