Just as you will find with the great opportunities in Wyoming, there are also plenty of amazing 4-wheeler trails in Montana. A great place to explore is Beaverhead National Forest, which has over 400 miles of trails that 4-wheelers can use. With dense forest on each side of your trail it is easy to get turned around and a little bit lost. There are some great trail maps available for only a few dollars each. Always remember, for safety's sake, that you should tell people where you are going riding, stick to your trail. As with any forested area, please be aware of the potential for animal encounters and learn the appropriate avoidance techniques. Never ride your 4-wheeler alone.
In Flathead National Forest there are over 1,700 miles of roads and trails to seek out. The mountains in this area are known to have been carved out by ancient glaciers, then dense forests grew around those hills and valleys. There are thousands of trails to explore on your 4-wheeler.
Helena National Forest has thousands of trails of Montana's finest 4-wheeler trails to seek out, and the degree of difficulty is contingent on how much 4-wheeler riding experience you have.
