Launch Site

Steve Shannon runs our launch site in western Montana near Twin Bridges with a 25,000 foot MSL waiver (about 19,340 feet AGL). The altitude can be increased up to 52,000 feet MSL (about 46,000 feet AGL) if Steve Shannon is notified a week in advance. The following are directions to Tripoli Montana's site near Twin Bridges, Montana on land owned by the BLM:

1. From I-90, proceed south on Highway 287 at Whitehall.
2. At Twin Bridges turn west from Main St. onto 4th Avenue (SR-41) at the signal.
3. Bear right (west) at about 1/2 mile onto Melrose-Twin Bridges County Road. The road is just after the old Montana Children's Center.
4. Drive 9 miles west on the county road and you are there! If it looks like the road forks and you are not sure which way to go, stay to the left.

Here is a view of the route on Google Maps.

From the west, take the Melrose-Twin Bridges County Road exit off I-15. Head east for 9.8 miles.
