To develop and steward trails for a healthy Anaconda and surrounding communities.

The first big rain is always a bit of a shakedown for a brand new trail. Rocks roll, debris collects, and the tread needs a little love.

One of our ATS board members got out on the Copper Link recently to rake, clear and smooth out some of those spots after the hard rain. A little trail TLC goes a long way!

Building the trail was only the beginning. ATS is committed to taking care of this special trail for the long haul.

And we’ll need your help! Stay tuned for some local trail work days to keep the cleanup going and get your hands dirty with us.

ATS and Anaconda Bicycles are switching up this week's scheduled gravel ride to a group MTB ride on the COPPER LINK!

This will be a great ride for all abilities. We will meet in front of Anaconda Bicycles at 6:00 p.m. or feel free to join us at the Sunnyside Copper Link trailhead at 6:15pm.

We will ride East towards Birch Street with the option to turn around and ride back. This ride, going both directions, will be about 6 miles with 800 ft of elevation gain.
For those of who who want to join one way only- expect 3 miles and 400 ft of elevation gain.

This is a no-drop, welcoming ride for all! If you’re newer to mountain biking, we’re happy to ride with you, share some tips, and have some fun along the way.

Helmets Required.

Please reach out with any questions.

Decades of old tires stuck in the trees around the Copper Link Trail got cleaned up this weekend!

Building a trail is only part of it. We also want to take care of the land around it and leave the open space a little better than we found it. And in Anaconda, sometimes that means cleaning up some REALLY old stuff 😆

Don’t worry Class of 2027... you can keep the useful tires. We’ll stick to gathering up the ones left behind 60 years ago.

A HUGE shoutout to Daniel Vigne with Anaconda Excavation and Landscape,LLC and Justin Sims with Smelter City Electric for bringing the equipment, doing the heavy lifting, and volunteering their time.

Looking forward to plenty more days taking care of the Copper Link and the open space around it!

A nearby neighbor built these historic rubber sculptures 😋 for easy removal. It's time to haul these away, and ATS needs some helping hands!

Join Daniel with Anaconda Excavation and Landscape,LLC and Justin with Smelter City Electric to carry these down the trail.

**first 5 volunteers to arrive will get a fun Smelter City Electric hat!**

(Don't worry class of '27, These are long lost tires from many years ago!)

🪩Did you know all volunteers get entered into a FREE NIGHTS STAY raffle at Fairmont Hot Springs!?🪩

If helping out at a fun, enthusiastic, bike race isn't enough, this sure is!

The Anaconda Trail Society needs volunteer help with morning registration & the timing table and capturing folks times as they ride through during the day.

We've decided to postpone our Copper Link Grand Opening Party to celebrate the broader trail work in the community at the same time- Anaconda has 8 full miles of new single track trail in town! A new date will be announced soon. Until then, don't wait to experience the new trail options. Copper Link is officially complete and open for everyone to enjoy!

ATS is incredibly proud to have envisioned, designed, and led the development of the Copper Link Trail. What began as an ATS idea became our first trail project through years of planning, fundraising, and securing an FWP Trails Stewardship Program grant. With additional support from Anaconda-Deer Lodge County using NRDP funding, completing the entire 3-mile trail this season became possible.

Today, Copper Link stands as a key project within the Open Lands Trails & Recreation Plan, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with our community.
