The house was hand crafted  in the early 1950's by one of Bozeman's 
leading  log cabin builders.  Over the past several years we have 
restored the house to its original roof line and to its original 
configuration.  A new green metal roof, new interior walls of knotty 
pine, new hardwood floors, new kitchen fixtures, floor and counter 
tops have been added along with a new bathroom.  New knotty pine 
doors were added and all but a few of the original windows have been 
replaced with modern double pane windows.  The house has new 
underground electrical service and has been completely rewired. The 
sinks, shower, water pump and hot water heater are also new.  The 
main part of the house is heated with a new Rinnai  propane gas 
heater. The bedrooms have individually controlled electric stoves 
simulating cozy fireplaces.

Q: What outdoor activities are allowed on the Bear Creek and New 
World Gulch trails?

A: These trails are under the auspices of the Montana Department of 
Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and the U.S.Forest Service 
(see map on our Location page). Activities vary with the seasons. 
In the spring, hikers and horse back riders use both trails. 
Motorized vehicles are prohibited from using the Bear Creek Trail 
from April 1st to June 30th. Motorized vehicles are not permitted 
on the New World Gulch Trail at any time. In summer hikers and 
horse back riders use both trails, and ATV's and motorcycles use the 
Bear Creek Trail after June 30th. In winter cross country skiers 
use both trails.

NOTE: At this time the Forest Service Travel Plan for the Gallatin 
National Forest is not final so some of the above information may 
change.



Q: What is up these trails that would be of interest to visitors?

A: Both trails follow creeks and are very scenic and pass through 
both timber and meadows with opportunities for viewing wildlife 
(as mentioned above) ; and both go to lakes as can be seen on the 
map on our location page. Both Mystic Lake and the Bear Lakes are a 
pretty good hike from the trailhead (five to six miles) but these 
lakes contain fish worthy of the hike. Topo maps of these routes 
are available at the House.



Q: How difficult is the cross country skiing on these trails? 

A: Bear Creek is a better choice for beginners. New World Gulch is 
steep in places. Neither trail is machine groomed but generally the 
snow is packed down by the various users. For groomed trails we 
recommend Bohart Ranch, 15 miles up Bridger Canyon from Bozeman. 


Q: Where can I find out about other events, activities or things 
to do in your area?

A: Check out this web site: or ask your hosts.

Q: What is the weather like in your area?

A: We are in a semi arid climate zone and get a lot of sunshine. 
When planning outdoor activities, it's always best to check the 
forecast in the morning before you leave Bear Canyon. The Trailhead 
House has radio and satellite TV for checking the weather.
