Closed Jeep Trail is a mountain biking route in the Bozeman Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana, about a mile from the town of Bozeman. It is an out-and-back ride of roughly 1.8 miles, with a high point of 6,374 feet and a total elevation gain of 456 feet over the round trip. The trail is an easy ride, with the steepest part coming right at the start, around 0.15 miles in, where the grade reaches about 11 percent. The climb is front-loaded, so most of the ascent happens early, and the route eases back down the same way. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station put July and August highs around 79°F with lows in the mid-40s, while winter highs stay in the low 30s. Jeep Trail lies about 0.3 miles away and Fairy Creek Trail about 0.5 miles away, both mountain biking routes. Battle Ridge Cabin is 0.8 miles off for an overnight stay, and Ross Peak, a climbing area, is about 2.4 miles away.
