**Big Mountain Trailhead Update**
The Big Mountain Trailhead will be closed on Monday, June 15 and Tuesday, June 16 for trailhead maintenance-related work.
Heavy machinery will be operating on site, and public access will not be possible for safety reasons.
For a nearby place to recreate, Holbrook Overlook remains open and is just up the road.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we complete this work.

We’re halfway through the Hit the Trail Challenge, and you’ve already logged 10,000+ miles on the Whitefish Trail!
We’re on pace for our 30,000-mile goal, but we need more people logging miles and more sponsors to match them.
From May 1–21 alone, the trail counter a Lion Mountain saw 3,191 visits… and that’s just 1 of 15 trailheads! If you’ve been hiking, biking, running, or walking, don’t forget to log your miles.
Local businesses: help turn miles into support for the trail our community loves. More miles logged = more funding for the Whitefish Trail. Reach out to learn how to sponsor!
