If you are looking to do a gravel century plus some, this route could be a great option. Can be ridden before snow melts in higher elevations to cure those winter blues. In the summer, you can take a dip to cool down in the cold mountain water.

# Notes

* A great ride to do in late spring, before the snow melts in higher elevations, to get you out on some Montana dirt. 
* @slice[Highway 12](d,86682.83,99089.48) doesn't have a large shoulder for riding, but it is a frequently biked road. 
* A gravel or cross bike is recommended, though a hardtail mountain bike or road/touring bike with thicker tires will suffice 
* Water sources are plenty, as you will be riding along side creeks for the majority of the ride, so you bring your filter. 
* The historic @poi[Jack Saloon](7878711) is a great place to stop for food and drinks as well. Towards the end of the loop there is also a @poi[convenience store](7878712) located in Alberton for all of your ice cream needs.
