In late winter and early spring, many of Montana’s top hiking trails are still too covered in snow to be enjoyed, unless you love snowshoeing. That said, you’ll also find plenty of places where hiking is usually possible during this transitional time of year. We can’t think of a better place to watch winter give way to spring than Storm Castle, a challenging but rewarding hike you’ll find near Bozeman. If you’re looking for amazing views, look no further.
Just take Highway 191 South and take a left on Storm Castle Road. You'll see signs for the trailhead and there's a dedicated parking area.
The gate on Storm Castle Road is closed until May, but you're welcome to park your car and walk to the trailhead.

However, the trail is south facing, so it actually dries out fairly quickly.
Seeing the snow melting and the lush green grass and trees start to appear is absolutely enchanting.
The views from the top of the trail are out of this world.
But if you go in the near future, you'll beat the crowd while enjoying the quiet beauty of the changing seasons.
Would you go hiking this early in the season, or do you prefer to wait for warmer weather?
