Your support is needed now more than ever to protect these places!

To meet this moment and step up where our federal land management partners need the most support , we’re providing a special one time only reduced cost ($250) for new registrations. Everyone should have the opportunity to protect our public lands.

Gateway to Yellowstone! Help maintain the Sheep Mountain Trail, just outside the city of Cody, Wyoming the gateway to Yellowstone National Park! Take part in trail maintenance and abundant recreational activities including hiking, horseback riding, hunting, wildlife viewing, sightseeing and shed hunting.

Cody offers a front-row seat to winding rivers, sweeping vistas, untamed wilderness, historic charm, and home of the world’s longest-running nightly rodeo.

This popular and scenic foot and horse trail winds up an impressive box canyon to the top of Sheep Mountain. . The ample amount of BLM-administered public lands, unique settings and resources, and its location make it an excellent recreation resource for travelers and the surrounding communities.

Volunteers will work together to start construction on a new 1-mile section of proposed trail that would bring recreational users to a scenic overlook of Buffalo Bill Reservoir. The new section of trail would be built using a full bench cut (steps) to create a solid, durable tread and may require grade reversals. Volunteers will conduct slough and berm (soil removal) work.
