‘Big Beautiful Bill Act’ -Nearby ski areas, hot springs eligible for sale under Senate bill

Luxury log homes sprouting up along the trail to Jerry Johnson Hot Springs? Real estate developments crowding in along the ski runs at Lost Trail and Lookout Pass ski areas?

Probably unlikely, but the popular day-trip destinations for Missoula-area residents are among the public federal lands eligible to be sold under a proposal working through the U.S. Senate.

The upper chamber is expected to vote this week on its version of its massive spending and tax-cuts bill — the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” — that currently includes language to sell off federal lands “solely for development of housing or to address associated community needs.”
