Hike to Lower and Upper Seymour Lakes
There are so many wilderness areas to choose from in Montana, it can be quite overwhelming. But try this on for size: the Pintlers are essentially Glacier National Park, without the people. Not only does it traverse the CDT, but chances are you won't see a lot of people, if any, on your adventure.The trail starts at the Lower Seymour Lake Trailhead and is relatively flat for the first couple of...
Backpack the Warren Pass Loop
Often overlooked due not to its lack of scenery, but rather because of its proximity to both Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness in southwest Montana is a haven for hikers and backpackers seeking a true wilderness experience. Established in 1964, the area straddles the Continental Divide of the Anaconda mountain range. In fact, the 45-mile stretch of the Cont...
Hike the Johnson Lake Loop
Day 1: After pulling into the Middle Fork parking lot, there will be two trailheads. Sign in at either one, but I started at TH 28 to head directly to Johnson Lake.

After completing the steep 500 ft elevation gain at the start of the trail, you may turn right and follow the abandoned trai...

Photograph the Falls at Lost Creek State Park
Drive along the park road until the road loops back near the campground. Park in any available space. From here, the falls are a short, 200 yard walk down a paved trail. Be sure to wear slip resistant shoes that you don't mind getting wet.After photographing the falls, be sure to follow the trail (a former Forest Service road) for a mile or two to truly experience this subalpine park. If you're...
