2- Saturday, May 11 or June 15... Not sure which date yet: Trail Bike Ride! Stay tuned for more information...
Get away from it all without getting too far away. Thompson Park, just nine miles south of Butte on Highway 2, is a municipal recreation area with 25 miles of non-motorized trails for hiking, horseback riding or mountain biking. Experience the backcountry as well as past mining activity, rock formations, incredible scenic vistas, and wildlife.
The historic Milwaukee Railroad (Milwaukee Road) serves as the Park's backbone to meandering trails heading off in every direction. This gently sloping 4.5-mile trail extends from the forest boundary south to Pipestone Pass and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, passing through two tunnels and over a 600-foot steel trestle along the way.

3- Thursday, May 16: Leave No Trace Hike!
WHEN: Rain or Shine! Let’s go hiking! Thursday, May 16th.
WHAT TIME: Thursday May 16, 2019 6:00pm to 8:30pm
WHERE: Mount Ellis Trailhead at 2070-2124 Mt Ellis Lane, Bozeman
TOPIC FOR THE EVENING: Leave No Trace! On this evening we will hike and discuss Leave No Trace. During this few mile long walk we will stop and learn about the 7 Leave No Trace principles. We will discuss ways of how we all can minimize our impact on the areas we love to hike, fish, ski or camp in.
This is a social, fun and educational event and we will take many, many breaks as we hike the trail. If the weather gods are with us we will make a Leave No Trace fire and enjoy marshmallows!
For more information about Leave No Trace visit www.lnt.org
SIGNING UP: Email Lena Conlan at Email: info@crossinglatitudes.com Please email Lena with your full name, address, and phone number and tell her whether you are a current Mountain Belle member or not. (If you're not sure if your membership is current, you can email Sunni at tenhorsun@aol.com to ask. She has a master list.) New members can join for $25 cash or check.
INSTRUCTOR: Lena Conlan, WEMT, NOLS Wilderness Medicine instructor, American Heart Association instructor, Owner of Crossing Latitudes.
WHAT TO WEAR: Sneakers or lightweight hiking shoes. As usual the weather dictates our gear - shorts and T-shirt or long pants and shirt depending on the conditions.
WHAT TO BRING: Daypack with a full water bottle, a snack, raincoat and an extra layer. Live by the 7 P’s! If you don’t know the 7 P’s – this event is for you!
MOUNTAIN BELLES WILL BRING: Leave No Trace information, First Aid kit, marshmallows and a map. If you are a new or lapsed member, please bring $25 cash or check.
HOW TO GET THERE? Park at the end of Mt. Ellis lane. The trail begins on the other side of the cattle gate. We will start our ascent up a gravel road through an open field to an old logging road that begins as we enter the trees (1 mi). The first few miles along this road climb steadily, but won't be too steep.
After a couple of miles of steady climbing, a single track marked by a cairn starts up towards Little Ellis from the right side of the road. Follow the steep fall-line trail to the first prominence (Little Ellis), then continue south on the ridge to the summit of Mt. Ellis. This route provides a unique view of the Gallatin Valley from the south so be sure to take a short break at the top to enjoy the views before heading back down the way you came. We will see how far we get this evening.
COST: The event is free to current Mountain Belles members. Feel free to bring friends who might want to join our group ($25.00 for a year). There is no limit to this clinic – the more ladies who want to learn about Leave No Trace the better!
WHO: This clinic is for all Mountain Belle members and lady friends interested in becoming a member.
SIGNING UP: Email Lena Conlan at: info@crossinglatitudes.com
