Montana Backcountry Alliance presents the 'Hyalite Hoedown' on Thursday, January 15 at the Eagles (upstairs) in downtown Bozeman. This new backcountry community celebration and fundraiser kicks off at 6 pm, and will help raise awareness and money for plowing the road leading up to Hyalite Canyon.

The event brings attention to securing winter recreation access to Hyalite Canyon, a treasured backyard resource in Bozeman. Since plowing the road leading up the canyon began in 2007, Gallatin County, a Forest Service resource grant, and contributions from Friends of Hyalite have supplied the financial assistance to make that possible. Despite significant public recreation interest, funding remains a dubious task each year.

The Hyalite Hoedown will include a 7 pm screening of the made-in-Montana ski film, Land of No Use, followed by live music from Holler N' Pine. All proceeds from the event will be dedicated to plowing the Hyalite road. There is a suggested donation of at least $10 per person for this event.
