Fat bikes in Gallatin National Forest

BOZEMAN – Fat bikes may be one of the fastest growing winter recreational trends
in the area, and the Gallatin National Forest’s recreation staff has created a list of
recommended – and legal – areas to ride.
Pedal bikes with large frames and large tires designed for flotation and stability on snow,
fat bikes require snow compaction.
Currently, the Gallatin National Forest’s Travel Management Plan Decision from 2006
prohibits all wheeled vehicles of any type from traveling on National Forest marked or
groomed winter trail systems, including snowmobile and ski trails. This decision pre-
dated the now common occurrence of fat bikes.
The Forest plans to review the potential for accommodating this growing recreation
activity. However, travel plan amendments take into account many considerations
including safety and potential trail damage; additionally, as a public process, the
amendments involve considerable time and effort, so it is currently unknown what
administrative changes could take place.
Official winter travel routes are shown on the free Gallatin National Forest Over
Snow Vehicle Use Map, available at District offices across the Forest, and online at
fs.usda.gov/gallatin or on your smart device with the new Avenza PDF map tool. With
Avenza PDF you can download geo-referenced pdf files of Gallatin Visitor Maps, Motor
Vehicle Use Maps, and soon, the Gallatin Over Snow Vehicle Map.

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
