  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail The Continental Divide Scenic Trail (CDNST) was established by congress under the National Trails System Act of 1968. The trail will extend 3,100 miles, in its entirety, from Canada to Mexico. This northern-most portion follows the backbone of the Rocky Mountains for 795 miles through Montana and Idaho. It passes through some of our nation's most spectacular scenery--Glacier National Park, ten national forests with wildernesses such as the Bob Marshall and Anaconda Pintler, several Bureau of Land Management Resource Areas, State lands and short segments of private lands. This segment begins at the U.S./Canada border between Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks, following a route near the divide and through the Blackfeet Indian Reservation to Marias Pass. Southward the trail passes through the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wildernesses, skirting the Chinese Wall. After crossing Rogers and MacDonald Passes, it continues through historic mining districts and ghost towns. West of Anaconda the trail traverses the length of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, reaching the Montana-Idaho border near Lost Trail Pass on the 1805 route of Lewis and Clark. Winding through the Bitterroot Range, the trail passes high above the Big Hole National Battlefield, scene of conflict between the Nez Perce Tribe and the U.S. Army in 1877, and on to Lemhi Pass, headwaters of the Missouri River and marked by the Sacajawea Memorial. Continuing on through the Bitterroots, it crosses Monida Pass and winds along the crest of the Centennial Mountains above Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Staying near the divide, the trail crosses Raynolds and Targhee Passes with views of Henry's Lake to the south and Hebgen Lake to the north, before continuing on to the end of this segment of the CDNST, at the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park.

We urge people when recreating on the Forest to abide by all Federal, State, County and Local recommendations, policies and laws. Especially those related to Covid 19 mitigation practices. Below is a link to Ravalli County Health Department press release from 4/30/2020. - https://ravalli.us/DocumentCenter/View/5092/March-31-2020-Press-Release?bidId= o Sentence Two & Three details 14 day self-quarantine requirements if going out of state.

We are requesting that the public post information about trail conditions on the Bitterroot National Forest Facebook Page at - https://www.facebook.com/DiscoverBitterrootNF o Left center of page – Groups/Responsible Recreation Report The information we are looking for is: - What are the snow/ice conditions and locations? - How many trees are down across the trail and would any of them prevent a horse and rider from getting through or difficult passage for hikers of different abilities? - Is the trail or trail related structures (bridges, culverts, signs, etc.) impassable or damaged? - Was the road to the Trailhead damaged or not easily passable due to poor conditions? - How busy was the Trailhead and Trail?

Knight Research Station Carolyn B. Meyer General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-139 September 2005 Dillon, Gregory K.; Knight, Dennis H.; Meyer, Carolyn B. 2005. Historic range of variability for upland vegetation in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-139. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 85 p. Abstract An approach for synthesizing the results of ecological research pertinent to land management is the analysis of the historic range of variability (HRV) for key ecosystem variables that are affected by management activities. This report provides an HRV analysis for the upland vegetation of the Medicine Bow National Forest in southeastern Wyoming. The variables include live tree density, dead tree (snag) density, canopy cover, abundance of coarse woody debris, species diversity, fire return intervals, the abundance of various diseases, the proportion of the landscape in differ- ent land cover types, and the degree of patchiness in the landscape. The variables were examined at the stand and landscape scales, using information available in the literature and USFS databases. High-elevation landscapes were considered separately from low-elevation landscapes. Much of the report pertains to forests dominated by lodgepole pine, subalpine fir, and Engelmann spruce

With your help we enhanced our outreach and education efforts, and made advancements for heritage, stewardship, conservation preservation, and continued to share the NPNHT with a wide audience. Your support and dedication to the NPNHT is making a positive impact to preserve and protect this important National Historic Trail to make it more accessible for everyone whether they visit the Trail on the ground, visit special sites associated with the Trail, or virtually. In 2015, together we empowered many volunteers and Challenge Cost Share partners. Some of those resulted in the reopening of more than 3 miles of trail on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest and the 2016 “Exploring the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail” marketing program for the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain Regions which will build upon the awareness generated from the 2015 program. We added NPNHT historic sites and visitor centers Photo Service Forest U.S. on new Auto Tour brochures for Montana, Idaho, and Oregon and including the NPNHT on Sandra Broncheau- reprinted brochures for Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. To see more on our great McFarland with Smokey partners see details in side of this report. Bear.

Three study areas were established, each having a wide range of elevations and forest types. Findings are based upon study of nearly 900 individual fire scars on living trees, and on age- classes of shade-intolerant trees attributable to fire. During the period from 1600 to 1900 fires were frequent in most Biologists have long recognized that fire historically has had strong influence on the ecology of Northern Rocky Mountain forests (Intermountain Fire Research Council 1970; Habeck and Mutch 1973).

  • Montana and Idaho Day & Overnight Hikes Guide
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: IDAHO & MONTANA Photo by Steven Shattuck CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT IDAHO & MONTANA! Day & Overnight Hikes on the CDT THE GEM STATE AND THE TREASURE STATE Montana, known as “The Treasure State” and “Big Sky Country,” and Idaho, “The Gem State,” offer many wonderful Continental Divide Trail (CDT) experiences! The trail meanders along the southern border of Montana and eastern border of Idaho and extends for 1,012 miles through the two states, running through the present-day and ancestral lands of numerous Native American tribes including the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Ktunaxa, Eastern Shoshone, Lemhi Shoshone, Shoshone-Bannock, Salish Kootenai, and Tsuu T’ina tribes. In these states you’ll find mountain goats, grizzly bears, wolves, and bald eagles, as well as douglas fir, lodgepole pine, aspen, lady-slipper, buttercups, beargrass, and glacier lilies. We’ve put together this list of the best day and overnight hikes on the CDT in Montana and Idaho for you to explore some of our favorite parts of the trail! Hikes in this guide are listed from south to north. WILDLIFE: Idaho and Montana have both black bears and grizzly bears, each with distinct characteristics and behaviors. We recommend learning more about best practices while hiking in bear country. If you plan on hiking, make sure you are prepared with bear spray. MOUNTAIN WEATHER: Snow can stay in the high mountains long into the summer. Remember that you likely won’t be able to get to the higher trails during the winter and spring. Additionally, mountain weather can change drastically and unpredictably.
