With trails optimized for pedal power and miles of singletrack to explore, Copper City is worth the drive, especially since its prime location in the shadow of nearby mountains means it's one of the first places to dry out after the snow melts.

Biking is a big deal around Bozeman, and with good reason. It’s easy to commute around town, the mountains are literally in our backyard, and there are endless country roads to pedal. Locals tend to own more than one bike, (you never know what you’ll be in the mood for!). If you’re visiting, pop into one of these Bozeman bike shops and they will give you the low-down on trails, equipment and any other parting words of wisdom as you head out to ride.
