The highlight of any winter spent in Bozeman, Montana, is definitely Hyalite Canyon. The canyon is home to a variety of winter activities, including snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and ice climbing. It's even a great place to bag a Christmas tree. :)
The winter can be a very cold time out on the Gallatin River. To your benefit and despite the cold temperatures, there will be stretches of the river that refuse to freeze over. This stretch of the Gallatin River, above Taylor's Fork, will be free flowing during the entire winter. You might have to wade through foot high snow in order to get to the banks, however.Ā :)
A winter hike in southwest Montana can be as easy and peaceful as witnessing wildlife at a fishing access site. Early winter, a couple of years ago, Trumpeter Swans appeared on this Madison River site, near Jeffers, Montana...so peaceful. Where will you be this holidays season? :)
Where will you be this holidays season? Hyalite Canyon (Bozeman's back yard) will be an excellent place to try out those new cross country skis or snow shoes. We're only weeks away from an epic snow dump...Are you ready? :)
Winter brings many spectacular hiking opportunities in southwest Montana. If you're familiar with Ousel Falls, located in Big Sky, Montana, then you know that it can be a raging torrent in the spring of each year. Winter often relegates the falls to a frozen mass of ice...an amazing site. Use the map below to locate this very easy winter hike today! :)
