West Yellowstone Trail Planning & Design

Hosted by the Town of West Yellowstone.

The Town wants to hear from you! Be sure to join the West Yellowstone Trail Planning and Design project team at the Povah Center for an open house focused on the proposed trail design concepts, alternatives, and cost estimates. The open house will feature posters of design concepts that project members can talk through, as well as a presentation given periodically throughout the day. Lastly, the open house will feature public and stakeholder comments received and how they have been addressed in the current design work. You can review the proposed trail design concepts, alternatives, and cost estimates in May in addition to the open house by visiting the project website.
