Bozeman Summer Hiking Series - Trail Etiquette
Follow a Few Simple Rules to Ensure a Great Experience
Good manners go a long way, even in the wilderness and a true measure of our character is how we behave when only the trees are watching.  Although not hard and fast "rules", there are certain measures of etiquette that can be exercised on the trail.  One of the biggest issues that arises when trails are multi-use (hiking, biking, horseback riding) is yielding the trail.  A general rule of thumb is as follows:

Bozeman Summer Hiking Series - Lava Lake
Lava Lake - Lee Metcalf Wilderness near Bozeman, MT
Located just 25 minutes from downtown Bozeman, the Lava Lake Trailhead begins a stone's throw from the west bank of the Gallatin River.  Lava Lake is a popular hike due to its proximity to both Bozeman and Big Sky, its gradual ascents along Cascade Creek and the sheer beauty of the lake itself.  The trail to and from the lake is a roughly 6 mile loop that meanders through the Gallatin National Forest and Lee Metcalf Wilderness before reaching the hikes namesake.

Bozeman Summer Hiking Series - Drinking Horse Mountain
 Entering Trail from the Bozeman Fish Hatchery
The second installment of my Bozeman Summer Hiking Series is Drinking Horse Mountain, a nice 2.5 mile loop that begins from the parking lot of the Bozeman Fish Hatchery on Bozeman's north side just before entering into Bridger Canyon.  Consequently, the Hatchery has its own interpretive trail that is also worth checking out if you are looking for something fun and interesting for the family to do.

Bozeman Summer Hiking Series - The "M" Trail
Bozeman is surrounded by phenomenal access to some truly wonderful recreational opportunities, hiking being one of them.  One of the most recognizable and popular hikes in the Bozeman area is the "M".  The "M" is so named for the large, white "M" that symbolizes Montana State University and can be seen from nearly everywhere in the Gallatin Valley.
There are two routes to take up to the namesake, one is quite direct and other quite meandering.  On this day, with a 4 year old and a 2 year old in tow, we … (0 comments)
