Crow Agency
Rockin' the Rivers features a classic rock concert held at 'The Bridge' each August. The past years have been huge successes, with music by the Doobie Brothers, George Thorogood, Collective Soul, Pat Benatar, Third Eye Blind, Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton and other top name rock bands from the 60's to the present. This year will feature the same caliber of entertainment fans have come to expect from this wonderful natural concert venue. The gradual slope of the land and foothills surrounding the venue meld together to produce acoustics that are unrivaled in the Northwest. Surrounded by spectacular scenery and perched high above the Jefferson River, 'The Bridge' is truly a Montana gem. Due to the successful events in the past and word spreading through satisfied fans, the campsites fill up quickly. We strongly encourage concert goers to buy their tickets and camping spaces early. We do have an overflow campground and no camper will be turned away. Please check website for pricing and early bird specials!

A 3 day mountain running celebration in the beautiful mountains of Southwest Montana. Racers challenge themselves to make it to the iconic summit of Lone Peak in a 28 or 50k or race along forested single tracks, jeep roads, and extremely steep and technical alpine ridge lines. An 11k is another shorter option that loops around the lower and mid-mountain terrain offering stunning views of the summit while trekking through white bark forests. No matter which course you choose, this event is not for the faint of heart.
