Short Fenceline - Easier
What You'll Find
​
Fenceline is one of those classic Missoula rides: it's got smooth, flowing singletrack, mountain & meadow views, and it's right next to town. This 5 mile loop is the easiest way to ride some fun singletrack in the Rattlesnake.
​
From the Main Rattlesnake trailhead, head up Sawmill Gulch road. Ewok trail runs just NW of the road, which is a legal climb, but it's nice to take the road up and leave the Ewok for the way back down.
​
Once the gulch opens up, continue past the bottom of Fenceline, coming in on your left, and take the next left onto Turkey Trail. After a little more climbing, you'll meet the middle of Fenceline and hang a left to complete the loop around Sawmill Gulch.
