GVLT staff worked closely with the Newhall family and the Forest Service to complete a trail easement, ensuring that the entirety of the Bridger Ridge Trail will remain accessible to the public in perpetuity.

Burke Park was GVLT’s first conservation project with the City of Bozeman in the early 90s with 42 acres purchased from the Burke family to the City of Bozeman in 1992.

This small but mighty ¼ mile paved pathway begins at the intersection of Birch (Oak) Street and Rouse Avenue and includes a pedestrian bridge crossing Bozeman Creek.

Finally, 28 years after the Main Street to Mountains concept was conceived, GVLT secured the necessary trail easements to close the gap through State of Montana DNRC land, private land, and GVLT conserved land.

It’s official: 12 acres off Bozeman’s iconic Peets Hill will be preserved as a city park.
