GVLT Community Events

Summer Trails Challenge

Raising money for GVLT is simple! Log your miles on the trail to help match our Trails Challenge fund from local businesses. 1 mile=$1 to support GVLT’s work to expand the Main Street to the Mountains trail system.

National Trails Day

Want to get your hands dirty? Grab a shovel and volunteer for National Trails Day. Every year on the first Saturday in June, hundreds of community members join GVLT for a morning of work to maintain or build our community trails. This event is free and open to the public.

Discovery Walks

There’s no better way to explore the Main Street to the Mountains trail system than with a group of new friends. These one-hour guided trail walks will help you discover new paths. There’s a topic or activity for every age and interest! Walks are hosted throughout May and June.

Trail Mix

Our annual supporter social is a fantastic opportunity to meet other trail-loving folk. Renew your annual gift or give what you can, enjoy a beer, and appetizers. Each year at Trail Mix we honor an individual with the Trail Partner of the Year Award.

Evening on the Land

Our bi-annual outdoor gala is as unique as it is grand. Guests enjoy views from a tent on a beautiful piece of conserved land in the Gallatin Valley. The event includes a locally-sourced dinner and live auction featuring priceless Montana experiences. Dance the night away and celebrate our region’s wide, open spaces.

Agricultural History Conservation Tour

Our valley has a rich agricultural history. Last year we teamed up with our friends at the Gallatin History Museum and toured two properties with deep roots, for farming and heritage.

NextGen Pedal Parade

Gather your favorite homies for a celebration of an amazing summer on the trails! Spin around in costume on your decorated bike and go for a ride to try and hit all the designated trail stops around town for chances to win outstanding prizes. Food trucks and beer will await your return.
