This gorgeous 6 mile trail is located just north of Bozeman. The hike takes you through a nice shaded forest and ends with an incredible two mile overlook.
You'll see a little bit of everything on this 4.7 mile trail near Gallatin Gateway: Lush forest, rolling hills and wide, open spaces. It's accessible year-round, but it's especially stunning in late spring because of the wildflowers.
This gorgeous trail is located near Roscoe in Custer National Forest. The 5.7 mile out-and-back path has breathtaking views and diverse scenery.
From the fields of wildflowers to the amazing overlook, this Stillwater State Forest trail is incredible. The entire thing is about 18 miles long, but you have plenty of options to break off and take shorter paths.
This 13 mile trail in Glacier National Park near Polebridge.
The Flathead National Forest holds some of Montana's best hikes, and this one is no exception. It's a 4.5 mile moderately challenging loop, and the fishing at Marion Lake can be quite good.
The Scenic Point Trail is definitely one of Glacier National Park's most challenging hikes, so attempt it only if you're a seasoned hiker (and take lots of water). The 7.5 mile trek takes you past Apostocki Falls and up a steep climb, but just look at this rewarding view.
If you love wildflowers, head to this 6 mile trail in Helena National Forest this spring. You'll see plenty, along with rocky cliffs.
The Beehive Creek Trail is a quick, easy 1.6 mile path located near Ennis. It is peaceful and relaxing with plenty of wildflowers and natural beauty.
We may be a bit biased, but we think Montana has the best hiking trails in the country. Just look at this beautiful list.
