The Journey Begins – 200 Miles to Go Across the American Prairie in Montana

At the end, we think you’ll be motivated to start planning your next adventure to the Reserve this fall and in 2016. And more than that, we hope you’ll continue to build and shape this vision with us.

Today is the beginning of a big adventure – a 200-mile hike, bike and canoe trip across the region of American Prairie Reserve on Montana’s northern plains. American Prairie Reserve president Sean Gerrity is leading the fourteen-day trek, and artists, scientists, tribal neighbors, board members and other trailblazers will join him along the way.

The group will move south from the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation to the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument and then start an eastward journey, weaving in and out of the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, American Prairie Reserve, and state and federal lands. In addition to moving through thousands of years of human history, the trip will cross through innumerable political boundaries and fence lines.
