An old school Big Sky classic, usually ridden as a shuttle ride known as "Ramshorn to Porcupine". The trail is beat up, and there's some hike a bike, but the lunch stop at Ramshorn Lake and long descent down Porcupine Creek Trail are worth it. The trail crosses State and USFS land. It begins as trail #1, Buffalo Horn and continues to #160 Ramshorn Lake. This trail goes into the WSA. Know the rules, know your route and stay on trail.

Closed to stock and bikes through June 15th. Open to motorcycles and e-bikes is July 16th - Sept 4.
