no offroad permit needed for a licensed jeep but atv's need an offroad permit on forest service roads..many atv/utv roads are not open to jeeps. there are great trails around Cooke city again. Goose Lake is an awsome trail and not too far from Yellowstone.
No permits needed for your jeep. There are some amazing trails to explore in the Bridger area. Bridger is a 1hr drive SE of Billings.
Every year is probably a little different but "about" when has the snow melted enough in the spring that you can start hitting the trails again? I'm in eastern Wa just across the Id. border so I'm guessing things start clearing for you a little later then they do around my parts.no offroad permit needed for a licensed jeep but atv's need an offroad permit on forest service roads..many atv/utv roads are not open to jeeps. there are great trails around Cooke city again.

we are getting dumped on this month so my guess is early July. My favorite place near Phillipsburg up past Granite ghost town is called Fisher lake and that on a good year is not open until later June.
only thing up there is the lolo motorway and a little further is the Magruder corridor..both are very nice but just roads that you can take in a crv or subaru...both are 100+ miles of dirt road but in August the Magruder is so dusty and often closed due to fires. Lolo motorway gets very little traffic and pretty neat. Buddy and I came up on a calf Moose that had its throat ripped out. it was literally pumping blood when we rolled up to it. I have done lolo motorway probably 20X's and magruder maybe 6X's.
I can’t imagine going 35 mph down that road! Beautiful scenery. I don’t need rock crawling just fun semi challenging backroads. Thanks for the info.we are getting dumped on this month so my guess is early July.
