- Z- Goat Flat Trail Reconstruction on the Wise River Ranger District Description of Work. The project includes the restoration of less than 1.5 miles of Continental Divide National Scenic Trail No. 9 within the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. The trail is extremely rugged and has poor access. Clearing and grubbing are included as their own line item for restoration clearing and grubbing, no clearing and grubbing is to occur along new trail, this project is entirely along an existing trail. Due to the large number of rocks to be removed from the trail tread and backslope it is advised that the contractor either have a certified blaster on their payroll, or be one themselves. Sample blasting plans from previous projects will be required at the time of bid. See Section 205 of the specifications for requirements for blasting plans. Project Location and Directions. The Goat Flat to Seymour segment of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail No. 9 is located within the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness. There are several access trails. The two closest access trails are described below. Storm Lake. To get to the Storm Lake Trailhead, travel west out of Anaconda on Hwy 1. Approximately 10-15 miles from Anaconda watch for a sign denoting Storm Lake Road. It is not a big sign. The Storm Lake road was recently reconstructed in 2011. Travel on the Storm Lake Road for approximately 10 miles to the Storm Lake Trailhead at the end of the lake. Limited parking exists at the end of the lake. There are many dispersed camping locations along the road near the lake. Hike up past the trailhead on Trail No. 8041 through several switchbacks and up to Storm Lake Pass, then hike around Mt. Tiny and join up with the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, CDNST, at Goat Flat. Shortly after joining the CDNST the work begins headed south off of the CDNST. The total length is less than two miles from the trailhead to the beginning of the work, but the trail is significantly more difficult especially for stock than the Seymour Trailhead access. Seymour. To get to the Seymour Trailhead, head east out of Anaconda. Take the Mill Creek Highway towards Wisdom. Travel on this highway approximately 22 miles from the turnoff and turn right. There is a Forest Access sign and some white mailboxes. It is 3 miles north of the junction with Mill Creek Highway and Highway 43. There is a sign approximately ¼ mile from the turnoff directing you to Seymour Trailhead in 7 miles. Drive to Seymour Trailhead and hike 6-7 miles up the main Seymour trail. The work begins near Upper Seymour Lake. If you are researching on Google, the trail is incorrectly labeled "Loop Trail". Construction Magnitude is between $25,000 and $100,000 Site Visit. No formal site visit is planned. Please contact Kendra Bull, 406-683-3962, for more information. Project Completion Date. Work shall be completed by September 15, 2015. Full solicitation detail and drawings will be posted to this site around July 7th.
