Don't Ignore Less-Known Trails! // Shannon Ridge POV // Lake Como, Montana

Last year at the end of my Labor Day weekend trip to Missoula, MT, I woke up to cold air and snow/rain in Missoula, so instead of my previously planned high elevation ride, I decided to drive down south a little ways where it was dry. I decided on Lake Como (no, not the one in Italy), and a trail called Shannon Ridge. Turned out to be quite a nice trail, in a very beautiful area where there weren't a lot of people! Sometimes the lesser known trails can truly be hidden gems. Hmm, maybe I should've just kept this one a secret!
Anyway, this was also the day after I had ridden 19 miles and climbed over 4,000 feet on Stuart Peak, so my legs were a bit fatigued. This ride featured a nice mellow climb up the road, so it was easy on the legs!

So true about lesser known trails! Another good one. 😎

[@huntstyle]

It's awesome to discover a great trail that you've never heard of before! This was just one of several trails in that system, but my legs were tired that day so I didn't climb back up for another lap.

That trail fun and fast.

[@huntstyle]

Yes, I enjoyed it! Beautiful, too!

I feel like there should have been a bear or moose in this video. Just looks like prime bear/moose country. For your sake, glad there wasn't. Cool trail!

It is grizzly country! I had bear spray with me.
