big hole valley

The Big Hole Valley in SW Montana......and easily one of my favorite places to spend free time.


So it was pretty easy for me to jump in the car and drive the 4 hours to Dillon this past monday to meet up with Cory and Greg from the Montana Mountain Bike Alliance for a meeting with the Beaverhead -Deerlodge County Commissioners in regards to mountain bike access within the Lionshead Area. These are the same two fellas that continue to roll up their sleeves and work their asses off to insure that we Montanans have amazing places to ride our bicycles. The Lionshead area just SW of Bozeman is certainly one of those places. Cory and other folks from the MMBA had laid out a very nice presentation that made good sense, was practical and easy to understand. I believe the commissioners thought so too and they endorsed the Lionshead NPA which could lead to good things concerning other endangered areas in Montana.
