Hiking in Montana

Montana is a treasure-trove of sweeping vistas, pristine trout streams, peaceful hiking trails, and powder-rich ski areas. Montana is a promised land whether you're planning to backpack deep into the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, pedal a scenic byway or lonely single track, or ski a thousand foot couloir of blower, cold smoke powder.

Montana is home to two major National Parks - Glacier and Yellowstone - and numerous state parks and recreation sites. Glacier National Park is over 1,000,000 acres of forests, alpine meadows, and lakes. The spectacular glaciated landscape is a hikers paradise. Yellowstone National Park is the world's first national park and boasts geothermal wonders, such as Old Faithful, evidence of one of the world's largest active volcanoes.

Hoping to bag an elk or land a blue-ribbon trout? The forests, plains, and streams of Montana are home to premiere fishing and hunting. Four distinct seasons and a vast array of dynamic ecosystems provide sportsmen and sportwomen a lifetime of opportunity to ply their hobby.

Hiking, rafting, horseback riding, mountain biking, skiing, snowmobiling. Montana has it all whether it's summer, winter, springtime or autumn, recreation under the Big Sky is full of endless possibilities.
