Club Meetings
3rd Thursday of each Month
Comfort Inn – Butte, Montana 2777 Harrison Ave. Optional Potluck: 6:00pm Meeting Begins: 6:30pm Members and guests always welcome.
We plan regular trail rides throughout southwest Montana during the summer months, often to various points of interests including lakes, ghost towns and more. We try to incorporate both day rides and overnight camping pack trips into the schedule according to member interest.
We also typically plan a “play day” each year to practice trail obstacles in a controlled environment. These obstacles include bridges, tunnels, garbage bags, etc. The play days include a club potluck and lots of friendly company.
In addition to trail rides and play days, the club conducts fundraisers and community awareness events throughout the year including raffles, public workshops and more.
