Bohart (Crosscut) to Bridger Bowl Loop 9.31 mi

Overview: NOTE: Bohart is now called Crosscut Ranch and is no longer accessible to horses. All of the same trails except the Crosscut portion can be accessed from Bridger Bowl or Brackett Creek. Nice ride starting at Bohart XC ski area and covering sections of a couple different Bridger Bowl Poker rides. Lots of single track and a creek crossing or two.

CAUTION: Watch for hunters during hunting season.

Water: Pond at Bohart. A couple of small creeks on the way to Bridger Bowl and in Bridger Bowl but these may be seasonal.

Start at Bohart Ski Area.

Timing: 2 hours 22 minutes averaging 3.9 mph mostly walking and some trotting.

Notables: There is a shortcut option totaling 8.73 miles but this cuts off one of the most fun single-track sections. For the shortcut, take the road that can be seen on the map cutting across the most northerly section of the loop.
