Beautiful views of Mount Frazier, the Great Plains, and the Bob Marshall Wilderness on the Mount Werner Trail.
The Mount Werner Trail starts at the Blackleaf Canyon Trailhead in the Montana front range of the Rocky Mountains. On a side note, Blackleaf Canyon is also a popular rock climbing area.
On the trail, you'll walk along Blackleaf Creek, and Muddy Creek so water will be available during the hike in case you bring your filter/purifier. As you hike, you'll see magnificent views of the Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Great Plains to the east.
Once you summit Mount Werner, you'll have gorgeous views of Mount Frazier across Blackleaf Canyon to the north and Mount Wright to the west.
