Commonly referred to as the "Cow Trails," the Highland Glen Nature Preserve has a network of single track and double track trails that are open to biking, running, and hiking. In the winter, this is a cross country ski area. The trails get their nickname from the herd of cows that lives in the preserve. Make sure to always close and latch any gates that you go through!

This is the trail head for the Triple Tree Trail. It is a popular loop in the southern suburbs of Bozeman, frequented by runners, hikers, and bikers. Expect to encounter plenty of other trail users, especially on nice days. Much of the route winds through forested areas, eventually leading to a bald summit with a bench and sweeping views of Bozeman and the Bridger Range. The lookout is exposed, offering little to no shade.

Nice road with a short steep climb up to 11% eastward to summit. Good way to get to/from Bozeman to miss the busier lower sections of Bridger Canyon Road. Not much traffic!

A low-traffic road outside of Bozeman, a great place to enjoy the surrounding environment, wildlife, and mountains. The area surrounding Bozeman is full of sagebrush.
