In partnership with Montana Department of Transportation, Missoula and Ravalli Counties, Municipalities, and organizations in the greater Bitterroot Valley, we encourage anyone with an event planned on or along the Bitterroot Trail to submit their event to this calendar. We hope you will use this as a consolidated resource to publicize your events and help promote coordination between events to prevent over-scheduling of large group use of the trail or to assist in planning companion/complimentary events that would encourage users of the trail to participate in your events.
If you would like to have your event posted on this calendar, please review our "BTPA Policy - Event Posting & Sponsorships". click here to go to our event submission form. Please submit your event request at least 3 months in advance. We may not be able to post events with less notification time.

Bitterroot Trail Preservation Alliance:
Spring is on the way! With that comes encouragement to get out and use our beautiful Bitterroot Trail to enjoy the Bitterroot Valley whether it be by walking, jogging, biking, skate boarding, horseback, or any other nonmotorized means.
In preparation for this year's enjoyment of the Bitterroot Trail, the Bitterroot Trail Preservation Alliance will be holding its Annual Members' Meeting on Monday, March 9, 2026 in person in the upstairs meeting room at the Lolo Peak Brewery.

BTPA will be providing appetizers in the meeting room beginning at 6:00. No-host beverages and additional food may be ordered from the Lolo Peak menu.
We will have a brief business meeting to accomplish the required tasks of approving board members for the next 3 years and providing attendees with an organization update and financial report from 2025.
