Trails day at Gallatin Tower
Mon, 06/08/2009 - 14:57 — Jeff HoAbout 30 people, including the Bozeman Climbing Team, showed up to revamp the Gallatin Tower trail on Saturday. The Forest Service came out and supplied all the tools and a chain saw. We made large platforms at the base of all the climbs, re-worked some of the existing trail, and finished the trail to the top of the Tower. A few people stayed out and climbed in the rain. Thanks everyone!
