Montana Great Trails Workshop 2026 - Billings, MT - June 9-10, 2026
Thanks to funding from the Right Rider Access Fund, the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) and continued partnership with the Bureau of Land Management we invite you to participate in a two-day Great Trails Workshop focused on the design, construction, maintenance, and management of sustainable and enjoyable OHV trails.
This workshop will include two hands-on field training sessions held at the Horsetheif Rec Area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Participants will gain practical, real-world experience working alongside trail professionals while learning techniques used to build and maintain high-quality OHV trail systems.
Participants will be responsible for their own transportation to the field sessions. Lodging is available in Billings.
Lunch will be provided on June 9. On June 10, participants should bring their own lunch as the group will be working in the field throughout the day.
What to Bring:
Please come prepared for outdoor fieldwork. Recommended items include:
Weather-appropriate clothing
Plenty of water
Snacks or additional food if desired
Bug spray and sunscreen
Participants are responsible for bringing their own beverages, water, and any additional snacks they may need.
OHV Field Session Safety Requirements
Participants traveling by OHV during field sessions are encouraged to bring their own machines. Proper safety gear is mandatory, including:
Helmet
Goggles
Gloves
Over-the-ankle boots
Long pants
Long-sleeved shirt
Anyone not wearing the required safety gear will not be permitted to participate in OHV field activities.
From Roundup, there are two primary ways to enter the Horsethief Recreation Area, and any local will kindly tell you the best way to go about it. Use the north access 6.5 miles west on Golf Course Road for stargazing on top of the rims. The south entry can be accessed by traveling 5 miles northwest on Horsethief Creek Road (1 mile south of Roundup on HWY 87). Both roads are well maintained and easy to travel but once you turn into the recreation area, rugged is the name of the game. Much of the area is accessed only via two track ATV roads. Kick on 4WD and drive in—or lace up your hiking boots, park at the kiosk and wander in on foot. View the map for more information, or contact the Billings BLM Field Office with any questions.
