Are Tribal passes needed on the Cino route?

[Mark Davison]

I'm planning a bike tour for late July and part of the tour runs from Hot Springs MT to Kalispell. I would like to use the route from Day 2 of Cino to stay off the highway. The question is: since this is on tribal land and off of the highway, will tribal passes be required, and if so, which one(s). Bicycling is not specifically listed as an activity requiring a pass, but I'm assuming a pass is required.

The best answer comes from the Tribe. They all have websites with contact information, including phone numbers and emails. Most of the tribes I've worked with in Montana and Wyoming have people to answer the phone. An email might sit for a while.

All of the roads on Cino day 2 are public as far as I know. There is one short section which might not be, as it's a dirt road that connects 2 gravel roads, but I can't imagine that anyone would care if you ride that section. It's probably 1/2-3/4 of a mile long.

In all of the times I have attended Cino I have never seen any form of LE on the route.

To add to the above, I looked at a map and the dirt road that I referenced is labeled with a name. That makes me think that it is also a public road.

I've done Cino a number of times and I've never heard it mentioned....that doesn't mean it's not a thing but the organizers or Cino have never brought it up.
