Biking the Hiawatha Trail in Montana and Idaho… just be careful of the bears
The Hiawatha Trail, with its ten tunnels and seven high trestles, is not a trail you’d want to bike in the winter. The snow in these rugged Bitterroot Mountains over the Idaho and Montana border would be tough enough, even without the bears that are rumored to hibernate in some of the tunnels.
Some bears like to get started even before the biking season ends – October 2, 2005 – and the trail rangers have to scoot them out in the morning before they open the trail to riders at 8:30 in the morning. It stays open until 6:00 p.m.
