Flathead Area Mountain Bikers and Flathead National Forest will continue work on the forest’s first dedicated mountain bike trails around Crane Mountain this spring.
The Forest Service’s Bug Creek Integrated Resource Management Project seeks to introduce wildfire mitigation efforts, improve vegetation and wildlife habitat and provide outdoor recreation opportunities.
