They would only let people with chains or 4WD drive up. I'd say there was maybe 50 people at the top, and maybe half that sledding along the road, somewhere. I'm not sure charging to drive up to Goat Meadow is going to work very well. I think people will just go somewhere else. They were monitoring it when we were there, too, Mark.

I love goat meadow snow play area, Yesterday I saw forest service monitoring the road/parking lot. Rumor is next year you will have to pay to drive up there. Seems like that will axe some of the visitation... Will those families of 10 in the mini van be able to afford this? Seems like this will limit the ability of many to be able to experience the great outdoors. I agree the parking is atrocious, but it this really the answer? Snow play area a fee-pay area next year?

It was a really great experience - I had some great food and the area around Missoula is just breathtaking! I can imagine winters can be pretty long up there, though.

I moved to Missoula Montana from Arizona 2 years ago, in the spring. That first summer was awesome, for those of you that have not been to Missoula we have three major rivers that fork up here. The Black Foot River, the Clark Fork River and the Bitterroot River. Also you can be in the wildreness in about 20 minutes. However the cold seemed to come super early and quite frankly we were not ready for it to be cold. This year we have gotten snow shoes and go hiking in the deep snow of Lolo pass between Montana and Idaho, when you get cold you can be at Lolo Hot Spring in just a few minutes for a hot swim to warm you up for the drive home. I will be getting out for more day trips this winter and hope you do the same in your town. I love the fact that you are talking about helping people beat the winter time blues.

Yes, it is kind of a funny-looking sign (which is why I had to snap a pic). Ha, ha! Yes, it is kind of a funny-looking sign (which is why I had to snap a pic).
