@hwinkler4real Happy belated birthday, Henry! We are raising money to convert the abandoned railroad bed near your favorite place (West Yellowstone, obviously) into a hiking-biking-fishing trail! Any chance you would donate an autographed photo for our online auction? Thanks!

Did you know the YST will be dog-friendly? 🐶 This photo shows the historic depot which now houses the Museum of the Yellowstone. The depot is part of the historic district in West Yellowstone, a focal point along the planned trail which will follow the abandoned railroad route.

#NewProfilePic Yellowstone Shortline Trail has a logo! The logo pays homage to all aspects of the project, including the Forest Service, Montana's mountainous landscape, West Yellowstone's history, and the South Fork of the Madison River which parallels the abandoned railroad.

It's Friday! Where will you be exploring this weekend? The Yellowstone Shortline Trail will connect to other trails, including the Continental Divide Trail which runs from MT to NM. For people riding the CDT, the YST will connect them to the community of West Yellowstone.

Part of the money raised will go towards the construction of bridges where the trail crosses over the South Fork of the Madison River. Last week, the ladies of @FreeheelWheel took this pic of where the first bridge will be located. Support the trail at https://t.co/MgCPm1Oz7v

Here is a shot of the future trail running along the South Fork of the Madison River. A crew from the Montana Conservation Corp out of Helena came to the area for 10 days to begin thinning, limbing, and piling along the route. Donate today! https://t.co/kGwZFUiBjb
