Bozeman Trail devotees have taken the first official step to see the route formally recognized.Representatives of Our Montana and the Fort Phil Kearny/Bozeman Trail Association have asked the congressional delegations in Montana and Wyoming to support a feasibility study to have the Bozeman Trail designated a National Historic Trail.The study would include public meetings, along with an analysis of the public lands management costs, visitation and community support.'It's probably a three-year project for the feasibility study,' if Congress approves it, said Mike Penfold, field program director for Our Montana.
