Glide along a river, through a canyon to the old mining town of Independence and over 25 miles of groomed trails south of Big Timber in the scenic Boulder River Valley.

The 25-mile Boulder Canyon Trail takes snowmobilers to bowls, meadows and the abandoned mining town of Independence. The upper seven miles are moderate to difficult. Shorter and easier is the East Boulder-Dry Fork Trail with extensive play areas along its seven-mile length.
