Long climbs followed by white-knuckle descents provide for sheer exhilaration. Great views of the plains below are worth the two-mile climb. Wind down at the Windbag or sample micro-brews at the Sleeping Giant Brewery. Helena's historic district provides for a nice road ride and a chance to view some of its Victorian past. The Helena National Forest has one million acres of land and plenty of camping sites.
Affordable lodging is everywhere.
A total of just under 14 miles of some of the most challenging, and just plain fun, single track in the midwest. The main loop, Skyline, is 2.5 miles of easy to moderate single track that connects the other three loops. The trails are designed to ride in either direction and are just as challenging. Rocky, off-camber, wooded with roots, these trails are either taking you on a climb or barreling you down. Going counter-clockwise, we'll come to The Great White.
