No sorry that was misleading. My riding partner just texted that they had groomed up there for the first time this week. Just cause we usually go up there not ip. Iam happy to say I did my tenth ride this year and thankful to be so close to so many riding areas. A bit more broke but happy! My guess is the canyon may be a zoo Saturday morning lol

Does this "canyon" have a name?
Gallatin Canyon, along the Gallatin River and U.S. 191 between the park and Gallatin Gateway.

Taylor's Fork and Buck Creek are the 2 main riding areas near Big Sky and they haven't been groomed at all until this week. I think most people from the Bozeman area have been making the trip down to West Yellowstone and Island Park rather than dealing with the 4 ft whoops on those trails.

I can't believe how tracked up things in west in 3 days
That really can't come as much of a Surprise to you?
Once the tourists start pouring in, the traffic EXPLODES and all of the easily accessible stuff just gets Hammered.
But there is SOOOO MUCH MORE than they NEVER bother to hunt down and ride on.
