Gallatin Valley Land Trust Hosts Discovery Walks: Trail Exploration Series
The Gallatin Valley Land Trust has worked hard over the last 26 years to build an extensive 80 mile trail system that connects Main Street Bozeman to the Mountains that surround us. The Main Street to the Mountains trail system has trails for all abilities and they are accessible from neighborhoods all over town. Yet the trail system can be daunting and confusing to the newcomer or novice user. And even the experienced trail users in Bozeman are probably unaware of all the trails right there in our backyard.
In order to help people explore the great community trail system, GVLT hosting the second season of Discovery Walks: Trail Exploration Series. Join GVLT volunteers to walk, talk, and explore on the trails while meeting new people and learning something new along the way. These one-hour, guided, educational walks are totally free and open to the public. Volunteers and local experts will be hosting short talks and activities during the walks about topics such as yoga, bird identification, wildflower identification, bouldering, art, and more! Many of the walks are geared toward families and kids such as the kid’s nature walks with the Montana Outdoor Science School. All participants will get a free trail map at the end of the walk so they can find other trails to explore on their own.
Trail walks do not require an RSVP. Dogs are not allowed on walks. The full schedule for May, June, and July is located online at www.gvlt.org/events/discovery-walks. Meeting locations for walks and Google maps are also located on the website. For more information or to volunteer, email EJ Porth, ej@gvlt.org or call 406-587-8404 ext. 8.
