Bigfork just opened a new trail system on the outskirts of town. This is the second official trail in the area, so it’s a pretty big deal. (Unlike the Boulder area in Colorado, which is riddled with biking and hiking routes, there’s not much of that around here.)
We decided to give it a go, so we loaded up our bikes and drove to the trailhead. It was a beautiful, crisp fall day, and we started off pretty cold– around 50 degrees. But as Thom says, “Be bold, start cold”. After about a mile, we were definitely warm! The first few miles were almost all uphill, and at one point we snapped a shot on the trail.
There were quite a few hikers on the trail, although we only saw one other group of bikers. It’s popular because it’s brand new, and of course the nice weather helped. The trees are gradually turning, and there was a lot of brilliant yellow peppered throughout the forest.
We covered about six miles in all, and really enjoyed it. A pizza at Rosa’s afterward was a perfect end to our little adventure.
