This trail trek will begin at the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center at 8 a.m. and end in the late afternoon. Participation is free of charge.

Participants will follow parts of the Bozeman Trail, with scheduled stops at specific sites along the way that will help share the story of the Bozeman Trail. The trail trek will culminate with a visit to Fort Phil Kearny, a major fort along the trail.

For this program, please wear appropriate clothing, bring sack lunches, drinks and sunscreen, and be prepared for inclement weather as the day unfolds. Transportation is not provided to sites and carpooling is encouraged.

The BLM encourages visitors to connect to their public lands and America’s natural and cultural heritage. For more information and to register for this program please contact Jason Vlcan at 307-261-7783.
