Canyon bike path

The Gateway to Glacier Trail bike path group will hold its fourth annual Pints-for-Paths Brewfest on the lawn at Heaven’s Peak Lodge & Restaurant in West Glacier on Saturday, July 12, from 5 to 10 p.m. Twelve breweries will be featured, with live music, food, a silent auction and raffles. Tickets are $15 per person pre-sale and $20 at the gate, which includes five tasting tickets. The group is making headway in building a separated bike path along U.S. 2 from Columbia Falls to West Glacier. More than $1 million in public and private funds have been raised to connect Coram with West Glacier, about 7 miles. The fundraising focus is now to connect Columbia Falls to the House of Mystery, about 3 to 4 miles.
