History of Blackfoot Trail

Blackfoot Trail, named after the Indigenous Blackfoot people who once roamed the region, has a storied history dating back centuries. Originally a buffalo trail used by Indigenous peoples for hunting and trading, it later became a vital transportation route for settlers and pioneers heading westward.
