What to expect on Kelly Canyon Road – Triple Tree Trail loop from Bozeman

The journey begins on paved roads, but don't let that fool you; Kelly Canyon Road presents a steep climb that rewards you with awesome views of the Bridger Mountains. As you continue, the route offers varied terrain, eventually leading to the popular Triple Tree Trail area. While the Triple Tree Trail itself is natural surface singletrack unsuitable for typical road bikes, the surrounding paved roads connect you to its stunning viewpoints. Expect sunny hillsides, shady glens, and eventually sweeping views of the entire Gallatin Valley and Bozeman from the Triple Tree summit area. This route is best for road cyclists who are prepared for significant elevation gain and appreciate a mix of challenging climbs and thrilling descents.

Planning your visit

While the main route is road cycling, be aware that the Triple Tree Trail itself is natural surface and not for road bikes. The loop combines some of Bozeman's well-regarded road cycling routes with access to the popular Triple Tree Trail area. Sections of the Triple Tree Trail can be muddy or icy in late fall and early spring, so plan your visit accordingly. Parking is generally available near the start point in Bozeman, but it's always wise to arrive early on popular days.
