Stretching for more than 50 miles between Hamilton and Missoula, the paved Bitterroot Trail offers a flat, traffic-free corridor through the heart of the valley. Riders enjoy wide-open views of the Bitterroot Mountains to the west and the Sapphire Range to the east, with small towns, cafes, and services dotted along the way. As the route leads into Missoula, the trail provides a welcoming and scenic approach; heading south, it eases you gently back into rural landscapes.
