Old North Trail

West of Choteau—The Rocky Mountain Front

"One of the oldest trails known to mankind." The Blackfeet called it the "Old North Trail," following it along the east side of the Rockies from their northern hunting grounds to their southern winter encampments. Approximately 25,000 years ago it extended across the ice bridge from Siberia southward into Mexico. Inquire at Old Trail Museum in Choteau.
