The Leverich Trail has some history, but honestly we are going to have to dig to find it. It's not documented in an easy to research format. Bit by bit, the history will come forward. By knowing where Leverich started from, we can better understand why it is what it is.

It's trail number 435. On the Gallatin National Forest. To get there one drives out S. 19th Ave. from Bozeman, Montana, or alternately drive south on S. Third Ave. or S. Church Ave. Look for the four way stop at the old schoolhouse at the corner of Nash Rd. and S. Third. Then drive south, sedately, through the Mystic Heights neighborhood. There is National Forest access signs pointing to the county road, guiding your car (or bike) through the houses. The one lane dirt road takes the Leverich quest into the bushy canyon and up to the trailhead parking lot. Don't race or spin your tires on the lumps in the road, and it'll last longer into the summer. The road is borderline for needing four wheel drive. It is a Subaru route to the trailhead.
