Porcupine - FS 199

Trail Overview

The Porcupine single track connects Buffalo Horn in the south to Porcupine Creek in the north. It goes for 7 miles through the Gallatin National Forest, through a mix of wide open grassy meadows, and denser forest. The trail through the meadows is really narrow and skinny, and sometimes rutted and muddy with split lines. The ruts will catch your pegs. The forest sections are very rocky, with lots of medium-embedded rocks and a couple of bigger boulders. The north end gets even rockier through the forest. They aren't big ledges or obstacles, just a very bumpy surface that is very jarring and tiring. The trail is open 7/16 - 9/4 to motorcycles.
