Trail Overview
Benchmark is a 1.5-mile long 50" trail through the Gallatin National Forest north of Bozeman, Montana. It's easy for the entire route, going through grassy valleys on an overgrown dirt trail. This one looks less ridden, with grass growing down the middle of the trail, and not many tracks. It starts at the intersection with South Fork Flathead Creek ATV Trail, and Carrol Creek ATV Trail, both of which are similar easy difficulty and can be combined for a longer ATV ride. It turns into a Jeep road on the north end which goes out to Flathead Pass Road. This trail is open 6/16 - 12/1 for motorized use.
