The Timber Ridge @WG Trial ~ Rescheduled to Sept 28-29 2024
A "Section" of Heaven
Buried deep in the mountains between Butte and Whitehall, there lies a private and secluded trials riding heaven that has been host to the annual Whiskey Gulch Trial for more than a decade. The clean forest floor, riddled with mountainous boulders, shaded by mature trees, and divided only by a few friendly streams, will have you captivated the moment you set foot on property. The magic of your most memorable ride lay dormant in this valley, come "clean" your mind for a weekend and experience why the Fortin family calls this place home.
After leaving the pavement of Hyw 2, prepare for an adventurous drive through the mountains aided by the strategically placed ribbons at each split in the road. Enjoy the journey until you ultimately pass through an open gate welcoming you to the Timber Ridge Trial. Plentiful dry camping exists, ample porta-cilities, and a friendly atmosphere can all be found nestled in an open valley just down stream from the ranch headquarters. You will find more specific and descriptive driving directions here.
