Yellowstone XC/Snowshoe & Hot Springs Soak!
POSTPONED
Let's Trek!
WHAT: Yellowstone XC/Snowshoe Blacktail Plateau Trailhead, YNP, followed by a soak at Yellowstone Hot Springs, Gardiner, and dinner on the way home at Emigrant Outpost in Emigrant.
WHEN: ONCE THE COVID19 VIRUS PANDEMIC HAS SUBSIDED, WE HOPE TO RESCHEDULE THIS OR A SIMILAR EVENT!
Carpooling is important, there is NOT a lot of space at Blacktail Plateau Trailhead. There is an option to meet us just for a soak at the Hot Springs after the ski.
WHERE: Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone Hot Springs, Emigrant Grill
WHO: Mountain Belles Members. To renew or join please send $25 to Attn: Membership, P.O. Box 6333, Bozeman MT 59771 or bring day of!
COST: Free Event (You cover cost of your food at the grill & gas $$ for your carpool driver!)
Contact: Please email Lynda lyndaandrosclay@gmail.com or Leslie leslie@kidcoos3.com if you would like to join. Please provide your name, membership status, carpool availability, and if you are doing the full day or just part of it.
Details: This adventure leaves from the back lot of the Bozeman Library at 9:30 AM Sharp!! Please be there by 9:15 AM so we can organize carpooling, etc...
Bring: Appropriate clothing/shoes for the day of xc skiing/snowshoeing, water, lunch/snack, ski gear/snowshoe gear, yak traks, bathing suit, towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, clothes for after, and anything else you might need for an awesome day! Also a couple bucks for the carpool driver for gas is appreciated.
It will take approximately 1.5 hrs to get to the trailhead.
We will xc ski/snowshoe out and back on the Blacktail trail. Instead of a distance we can go by time since snowshoeing is a little slower then skiing, so roughly 3hrs or less. (The trail is 8 miles long. one way) I am thinking we will probably get in 5-8 miles round trip. This trail is occasionally groomed and nontechnical, it has a very gradual climb through wooded areas and meadows. There will probably be wildlife viewing. It is Blacktail Plateau Drive in the Summer.
We will hopefully be at the Hot Springs around 3:15 PM(it is about 45mins to the hot springs from the trailhead) for a nice soak and then to the grill after if you want to join for a bite to eat! WOOHOO!
Hope to see you there! Please don't forget to email Lynda or Leslie if you would like to do the event! Emails are listed above.

Details: Does the idea of encountering a bear keep you from being able to enjoy your hikes and outdoor adventures? What should you do when you encounter a grizzly? A black bear? What's the difference between the two? How do you use that darn bear spray anyway?!
Danielle Oyler of the Bear Education Working Group will share the latest best practices for dealing with bear encounters on the trails or backpacking and camping and answer your questions about what to do and what not to do when you encounter wildlife on the trail. Participants will also have an opportunity to practice using inert (propellent only, no active ingredient) bear spray with a "charging" bear on wheels!
The Montana Bear Education Working Group is a collection of federal and state agencies and non-profit organizations that have common interests in reducing bear-human conflicts, increasing social tolerance for bears, and promoting the understanding of bears and their biology. Their partners include the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, Custer Gallatin National Forest, Wildlife Management Institute, Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, People and Carnivores, Wildlife Conservation Society, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The group has been financially supported by the working group partners listed above as well as the Montana Outdoor Legacy Foundation, Centennial Valley Association, Cinnabar Foundation, Vital Ground, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Counter Assault, Big Sky Community Foundation, Yellowstone Club Community Foundations, and more.
