Columbia Mountain Trail

A surprising difficult trail that is a great work out a spring starter. It is 6 miles to the top and when you complete the route you will have achieved 4, 700 vertical.

Great trail, up hill most of the way. Beautiful trees and view of river. Pretty easy for children who can handle the long walk.

Big Sky is not in Missoula, MT, it is in Big Sky, MT. It is a great ski area with downhill and cross country both. There is fresh powder almost every day

The day was a warm 80degrees & the flowers were gorgeous. This hike took us through some beautiful waterfalls with quiet stream patches where we could dip our feet in. Highly recommended!

East Rosebud Trail to Elk Lake

Despite the warm weather, the mountains still held onto their snow with fervor. I made it within 3/4 of a mile to the lake & had to turn back, as I was not prepared for the 2ft of snow I would have had to clammer through. While the husky would have loved, as he did on multiple spots along the trail, I want it to be summer. Pretty easy hike overall with no steep inclines.

Norm Schoenthal Island Outer Loop

This place is only a 15min drive from my home in Billings & is a great little get away. There are almost always people around, but there are sandy beaches along the Yellowstone where I can sit & relax while my pooch Thor runs & playsin the river. We typically go about once a month.

Garnet Hill and Hellroaring Trails

I started at the Hellroaring Trailhead with some friends and went down to the trail intersection at Garnet Hill and worked my way counter-clockwise along the loop. Near Tower Junction, we cut across the meadow to meet the other side of the trail instead of following the trail exactly. Along the trail we saw signs of black bear, coyote, wolf, and porcupine. We saw bison with their calves at a small lake or pond on the East side of Garnet Hill and walked around the trail to avoid confrontations. A couple pronghorn and a few mule deer ran past us too. We enjoyed hiking next to Elk Creek and Yellowstone River. The 500-foot elevation gain near the Hellroaring Trailhead was probably the most difficult part, but it was at the end. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful hike!
