8.5 miles of 12 foot perfectly smooth asphalt through remote, awesome scenery. Great signage! Well done!
We rode this with my 10 year old son and 9 year old niece. Very family friendly ride with a picnic at the turnaround and some creek dipping on the way back. Beautiful scenery and a great way to cover 20 miles.
Back in Kalispell and rode first thing on Saturday morning. Very little traffic on the streets and on trail. Still a very nice short trail that connects to other trails on the west end. Will ride again and connect to other trails for a longer ride. Enjoyed this one.
Passing by on I-90 and needed a break. Started at Rest Area and rode to end. Not much changed since last summer. Trail still over grown along the older section of trail. Still a nice trail and great for a break from the drive. Did see a couple other people on the trail.
Very little trail traffic. The Zimmerman trail end can be a little to enter or exit, crossing a traffic circle across a highways with only blinking yellow lights. Trail is paved with no abrupt transition.
I rode this in the reverse direction from Taft to Mullan as part of a bikepacking trip in July 2025. The NorPac was one of the highlights of the trip, with smoother gravel than the Old Milwaukee Trail or the Route of the Olympian. From Taft (the freeway exit for the Hiawatha Route), the trail is fairly easy to find. Just go back on the frontage road past some large industrial buildings, and the trail will start up the mountain underneath I90.
The Borax Tunnel is indeed closed, however, it would be very difficult to even access it. The bypass road is very clearly the only route to take, and while steeper than the rest of the trail, it is not long or too steep (6-7% gradient). The original trail to the tunnel is blocked by a huge piles of old trees at the bottom and a large berm at the top.
Lookout Pass has a few snacks, similar to the East Portal trailhead of the Hiawatha. Staying on the gravel road on the otherside of the parking lot, it eventually narrows and once again you're descending on smooth dirt down the Idaho side. It would be difficult to get lost. There is a major junction with a hard right turn and another instance where the trail bypasses the Shoshone Park road.
If you're coming from the Idaho side to start, the easiest way to describe how to access the trail is to navigate to the Fish Hatchery, and then make a 90 degree turn to the left and enter the trail through the trees.
I rode this route in both directions on a bikepacking trip in July 2025. The first leg, we started at the East Portal Parking lot and rode all the way down to Saint Regis. The gravel is smooth and fast going downhill until about Saltese. Around Haugan, the mountains open up, the gradient drops close to 0%, and you're a bit more exposed to the sun. The worst conditions were the last six miles into Saint Regis. Noise from I90 was never an issue, and we passed less than three motorized vehicles the entire time. I'd highly recommend the section from East Portal until the Old Dominion trestle. Would be a nice addition to the Hiawatha for those seeking a bit more distance.
My wife and I rode the Shortlineline trail on a recent visit to Yellowstone. We had a terrific time. The scenery was breathtaking. Especially the parts of the trail that ran next to the South Fork of the Madison river. The trail ascends at a very gentle 1% to 3% grade. But we were super impressed with how well maintained the trail is and the informational signs along the way were excellent and very interesting. Personally, we were kind of grateful that E bikes are not permitted on the trail. I’m sure that’s somewhat controversial, but it definitely meant that this experience for us was extremely peaceful and quieted our souls.
First, it states on here that no e-bikes are allowed. One of the staff at the campground we were staying, said she sees e-bikes on it all the time. So, we took our chances. Yes, there are several signs stating no e-bikes. We kept our speed around 10 mph, and always pedaled. Very peaceful and beautiful trail. We saw a coyote and a deer. Riding along the shoreline of the river was serene.
I set out at Somers and the first mile or two were fantastic. It seemed however that most of the trail after that follows hwy 93 which is a very busy 4 lane highway and the trail is only maybe 30 feet from the road. Very noisy and you do have to cross over several driveways. If not for it being such a beautiful Montana day I would probably rated this trail 3 stars.
Extremely nice trail has a great flow to it like a good rail trail would enjoyed it quite a bit twice actually. Camped at Spring Hill Campground very nice Campground, did some shopping at Albertson’s. What a great little store served my needs well. Thank you Town of Anaconda Montana
