Biking & Bike Tours
Missoula, Mountain offers the best in biking at many locations in and around the city. Take scenic mountain bike tours through wilderness forests and trails and explore river paths. Bicycles will be your ticket to some great fun for a vacation for the whole family in this perfect summer destination.
With so many biking trails in and around Missoula, it is virtually impossible to name them all here, but Montana certainly has many wilderness areas with great trails to make the opportunities limitless.
The Rattlesnake National Recreation Area and Wilderness is only a few miles from town, and is a great place to take your bicycle. Although bikes are not allowed off the main path and into the wilderness area, you can spot a lot of wildlife when riding here. Despite the name, there haven't been sightings of rattlers so you will just have to concentrate on seeing deer, beaver, and maybe mountain goats.
When biking on the Main Rattlesnake Travel Corridor, you will have 15 miles of gentle grade that is parallel to the creek. There are other riverfront trails that run west of the downtown area of Missoula into Hellgate Canyon.
Do your mountain biking at Greenough Park, which is a paved one-mile path and runs along the Rattlesnake Creek. Or you can bike along Clark Fork Riverfront, or in Blue Mountain or Pattee Canyon Recreation Areas. All these have wonderful trails to ride.
No matter what trail you pick, your mountain biking experience will be something to remember.
