Bridger Creek Trail

Bridger Creek Trail is a short, moderate cross-country ski route in Montana, about 7 miles from the town of Springhill. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly 0.3 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 26 feet. The climb is flat, and the high point sits at about 6,043 feet, with the steepest stretch coming at about 0.09 miles in. 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. That station sits roughly 1,100 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Several other ski routes lie within a tenth of a mile, including Crosscut Return and Para Trail. Climbers can find Lower Replica and Wolverine Bowl about 2.5 miles away, and Battle Ridge Cabin offers a place to stay about 3.4 miles off.
