Old North Trail Tour - Southern Tour

Event Details

Whether traveling between Glacier and Yellowstone, a local wanting to know more about the rich history of the area, a Montana Dinosaur Trail explorer, a hiker, hunter, angler or scenic driver wanting to explore and learn more about our beautiful public lands, come to the Old Trail Museum in beautiful Choteau, Montana and explore the history of the Rocky Mountain Front.

The Old North Trail was a trans-continental trail running north and south along the east side of the Rocky Mountains between Mexico and Alaska. Used by Native Americans for millennia for trading, hunting, war and seasonal migration, the Old North Trail was lost in most places in North America with American and Canadian westward colonization, quickly followed by industrial and agricultural development along much of the path of the Old North Trail.

The Old Trail Museum offers special tours of stretches of the Old North Trail each summer. Led by Old Trail Museum Board member and former Glacier National Park backcountry ranger Dave Shea, these tours cover several miles of the Old North Trail along the Rocky Mountain Front, discussing the trail, sites passed along the trail, as well as local geology, flora and fauna.

Start Time 7:00:00 AM
