ers, Chris and Mandy Axelson. Homestake has 15 km. of
dog-friendly trails so bring the pups! Rental equipment is

night ski!
HYALITE CANYON
e glacially carved Hyalite Canyon, south of
Bozeman in the Gallatin Range, is a world-class
winter sports destination. Over 35 kilometers
of groomed ski trails wind through the woods and
meadows and along Hyalite Creek and Reservoir. Bridger
Ski Foundation and the US Forest Service groom these
trails. Hyalite Canyon Road is plowed all winter thanks to
Friends of Hyalite. Be cautious on this road since it is not
salted or graveled and is very steep and curvy.
