Out On The Trails? Log Your Miles For GVLT
June 13, 2023by Sarah Day
We are so lucky to have over 100 miles of trails here in the Gallatin Valley that
we can enjoy. Regardless of where you live you are likely just minutes
from a trailhead. Many of the trails can be accessed or connected to from
downtown Bozeman – part of The Main Street to the Mountains trail system. This
is a huge community benefit.
These trails and scenic views do not happen by accident. Gallatin Valley
Land Trust (GVLT) has worked for over 30 years with landowners and community
partners to help build and maintain the trail system. Their work becomes ever
more important as our population continues to grow and trail demand increases. Now
they need your help to make sure they can continue this work for the entire
community to enjoy.
The GVLT Summer Trails Challenge is going on now! This is a free
community event going on from June 3 – 30, 2023 that helps raise money for new and
existing trails.
How does it work?
Walk, hike or bike on any trails in the Gallatin Valley then log your
miles at https://gvlt.org/events/challenge/
1 mile = $1 raised
Then what?
The Summer Trails Challenge Match Pool funded by wonderful local
businesses (including Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Montana Properties) goes
directly to GVLT
What else?
There's an End-of-the-Challenge BBQ celebration on Friday, June 30 at the
GVLT office downtown. Mark your calendars!
