Spectacular Montana backcountry, 29.5 miles (47K) on very technical single track trails, 3 miles (5K) of primitive/double track jeep road. No pavement, just Elkhorn Mountains dirt, plenty of rocks, forest, meadows and cold, clear creeks to splash through. Big climbs, big descents, big Montana views. This course takes runners into and through roadless, remote, back country, and removes you from the top of the food chain. All trail sections are closed to motorized vehicles, and vehicle access to the primitive road sections is difficult. Add in approximately 7,900 feet of elevation gain and maximum elevation of 8,000’ and this is one scenic and challenging 50K.
