BA&P stands for Butte Anaconda and Pacific Railway. This historic paved trail starts in the community of Rocker and finishes on the hills above Butte at the Granite Mountain Spectacular Mine Memorial. There are interpretive signs and many historic landmarks to see along the way such as the old mine headframes.

The upper half of the trail (North of the mining museum) is paved. The lower half of the trail (South of the mining museum) is gravel.
