Blodgett Canyon, Bitterroot National Forest
Along Blodgett Creek in Blodgett Canyon

There's about 1,600 miles of trails on the Bitterroot National Forest. Listed below are only a few of those trails. In the chart below, anything that leads into wilderness means no mechanized or motorized vehicles are allowed. And in my research I'm finding that a lot of trails are scheduled for tree clearing (because of past fires) and some amount of maintenance in 2009, probably as a result of the American Rebuilding and Reinvestment Act passed by Congress in early 2009.
