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 about 2 miles, with a total climb of roughly 750 feet from a low point of about 6,426 feet to a high of about 6,883 feet. The trail is rated moderate. The steepest stretch comes early, around 0.2 miles in, with a grade of about 17 percent. The climb is roughly 440 feet one way, so the round trip adds up to about 750 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs near 79°F in July and August, with lows in the mid-40s. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Logging Road lies about 0.8 miles away. Battle Ridge Cabin and Battle Ridge campground are both within about 2.5 miles. Climbers can find Lower Replica about 4 miles off.
