BOZEMAN – The
Path to the M and Drinking Horse officially opened on Oct. 26, constituting an important
connection between the town of Bozeman and the area’s northern public lands. A
ribbon cutting was held in celebration of the new trail.
The opening
marks the culmination of the Gallatin Valley Land Trust’s application for a
grant in 2013 through the Federal Lands Access Program to fund development of
the path, which now serves as a bicycle and pedestrian trail connecting Bozeman
to the Bridger Mountains by way of a 2.1-mile route. The grant awarded $3.4
million for construction and an additional $675,000 was granted through the
Trails, Open Space and Parks Bond.
