BRTA Monthly Meeting - June 3

National Trails Day - June 6

Welcome! The Beartooth Recreational Trails Association (BRTA) was organized in 2002 for two primary purposes; 1) to continue the wintertime operations of the Red Lodge Nordic Center (RLNC), and 2) promotion of year round non-motorized trail systems along the Beartooth front and Carbon County Montana. We work closely with the Forest Service, the City of Red Lodge and other organizations to create and expand future trails. 

Since that time, we have attracted many supporters and now have our official non-profit status (501c3). The RLNC continues to grow with new skiers and new trails and we are becoming more involved with the Red Lodge trail planning and development process.

Join our organization, and keep nordic skiing, as well as other non-motorized trail use a priority in our community!

City & County Receive Grant for Rocky Fork Trail Segment

Work on the first segment of the Rocky Fork Trail system will begin this summer according to Tom Kohley, a member of the Beartooth Recreation Trails Association (BRTA). The move forward has been made possible by a $90,000 grant, applied for by the Red Lodge City and Carbon County Commissioners, from the Recreational Trails Program, which is administered through the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. The work will involve the heart of the trail, a two and a half mile loop around Red Lodge Airport. The grant is divided up as such, the City receives $19,350, the County $24,000, in addition to a $40,000 local match from the County that is coming from an account that they maintain called ‘cash in lieu of parks.’
