Bozeman Creek Trail

Bozeman Creek Trail is a 9.4-mile out-and-back cross-country ski route in the Bozeman Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana. The trail rises from a starting point of about 5,848 feet to a high point of 5,894 feet, with a total elevation gain of 647 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.4 miles in, where the grade reaches 12 percent. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bozeman show January highs around 34°F with lows near 15°F and about nine snow days. By June, the station records highs near 72°F with no snow days, but that station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trail sits close to several other destinations. Mystic Lake and the Bozeman Creek hike are each about half a mile away, and the Diaper Line hike is about 1.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, the Fr 1783 Oldersite Near Moser 6211junc 079 campground is about 1.6 miles away.
