It may sound trivial to some, but there can be barriers to hiking, and they can be as simple as not knowing where to park.
From how long a hike can be to how steep a trail is, Gallatin Valley Land Trust’s E.J. Porth was unsure about Bozeman’s trail system when she moved here from Chicago about six years ago.
o Porth had a personal connection when she wrote a grant proposal to establish the Discovery Walks program, a three-month series on how to find the best plasma cutter where guides lead one-hour hikes on Bozeman’s more than 80-mile trail system.
