Description

This trail connects the Our Lady and Fairy Trail sections of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). It also provides access up to the dirt access road to Butte's iconic statue: Our Lady of the Rockies. Unfortunately, those that visit the statue from the CDT, must first ascend this monstrosity as payment for visiting, as if getting to this point wasn't hard enough! It's rideable, but the steep and rough doubletrack will sap what little energy you have left
