Bozeman Mountain Biking
Bozeman Montana is an adventure-driven town and a recommended stopover if you want to get on the trails. We camped in Bozeman for over a week and never had any problems we found it to be a very van friendly town. There are tons of bike trails in this area, and we narrowed it down to the best rides within 60 miles of Bozeman.
Big Sky’s Mountain to Meadow
There’s no need to buy a lift ticket to ride Big Sky Resort, thanks to the town shuttle that drives you back to the top after a screamer of a run down some premier downhill. You’ll start by climbing next to the Ramcharger lift. You’ll climb up for about 1.5 miles before you start a long flowy descent with berms and jumps all the way down to the town of Big Sky. From here, you'll want to head to Fire Pit Park, where you can catch the free mountain shuttle back up to the Ski Area Base where you started. You can lap this a few times since the uphill is fairly easy. Make sure to grab a shuttle schedule or check it out here!
Leverich Canyon
Just a few miles outside of Bozeman is one of the more popular trails in the area. Leverich Canyon is a short drive from Bozeman. The road up had been claimed to have been repaired lately but is pretty rutted out and is a sign of things to come. If you are in a large camper van, you can make it, but it will be a bumpy ride up. The climb up Leverich Canyon is pretty intense, but it’s worth every chain length. Once you top out on this ride, get your seat belt fashioned because this is a fast and fun downhill section. It will be over so fast you’ll want to ride it twice.
Bridger Range
Just North of Bozeman is the Bridger Range. There are quite a bit of out and back trails here where you can really gain some vertical and get a nice sweat going. We rode a few fun trails out here and were even able to camp overnight at some trailheads. These trails see much less use than the previously mentioned trails, and some of them have been recently built in the last few years, so they are in great condition.
