But during the transition from season-to-season, there are a dreaded pair of time periods that defy definition, during which the weather could vacillate wildly from one extreme to the other.

75 Miles of Singletrack, Connected to Town: Helena, Montana’s South Hills Trail System

Helena, like most towns in Montana, is surrounded by hundreds of miles of backcountry singletrack, up high in the mountains.
