Katadyn MyBottle Microfilter

Posted on May 13th, 2010

MyBottle Microfilter is a multi-purpose filtration system.  It meets EPA guidelines for removal of bacteria and protozoan cyst (like Giardia).  This economical microfilter system is easy to operate, reliable and the internal carbon filter also reduces chemicals and makes water taste better.

As always, each MyBottle includes a drinking straw to use as your everyday bottle if the source water is already safe to drink.  Perfect for hiking, biking, paddling or fishing.  No hoses, no fuss.

Note: the MyBottle Microfilter can be easily upgraded to a Purifier by adding the Katadyn purification cartridge - sold separately.

South Hills Trail Update-Helena

Posted on April 25th, 2010

Good afternoon,

The South Hills are in great shape for hiking, biking and running.  Trails are tacky and most of the standing water and/or snow has subsided.  A few flowers were spotted popping up today on Mt Ascension.  Enjoy the trails and please consider using designated trail system routes.   Please see  the attached PPLT link for trail work days.

Have a great day!

Hiking and Biking Trail Conditions Helena

Posted on April 15th, 2010

Lower elevation trails including Mount Ascention area, Rodney Ridge, and Wakina Sky Gulch are in good, rideable condition with only a few wet/icy sections.  There are still some wet patches/muddy sections on North aspects and higher elevation trails including the Ridge Trail. Please use good judgment and avoid riding those trails until they have dried out.
