Custer Gallatin National Forest is home to over 2,000 miles of trails, and there’s plenty of land for you and your pooch to enjoy some of it. Depending on how pro your pup is at hiking, there are three different trails in Hyalite Canyon that you and Fido should explore – each with a different difficulty level.<\/p>\n

Grotto Falls Trail<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong> 2.4 miles
\nRoute Type:<\/strong> Out & Back
\nElevation Gain:<\/strong> 278 feet
\nTrail Intensity: <\/strong>Easy<\/p>\n

Grotto Falls Trail<\/a> is known for being a stunning hike with a beautiful waterfall at the end of your journey. Leashed dogs are more than welcome to accompany you on this nature walk, that is also fitting for kids. Because of how universally easy this trail is though, it does have a consistent amount of moderate traffic. If you decided to experience Grottos Falls Trail, you’d experience natural inclines and crossings over Hyalite Creek. You’ll even discover an excellent doggy swimming hole for all those pooches who love to splish and splash.<\/p>\n

Hyalite Creek Trail to Hyalite Lake<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong> 10.9 miles
\nRoute Type:<\/strong> Out &\u00a0 Back
\nElevation Gain:<\/strong> 2,155 feet
\nTrail Intensity: <\/strong>Moderate<\/p>\n

Located close to Bozeman, Hyalite Creek Trail<\/a> to Hyalite Lake tends to have plenty of traffic for those who don’t like to feel isolated when hiking. Leashed dogs are also welcomed on this waterfall and wildflower-filled trail. Other hikers do recommend bringing water shoes because the trail can get a bit wet. At the end of your adventure though, prepare to be rewarded with a gorgeous mountain lake view.<\/p>\n

Hyalite Peak<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong> 16.2 miles
\nRoute Type:<\/strong> Out & Back
\nElevation Gain:<\/strong> 3,789 feet
\nTrail Intensity: <\/strong>Hard<\/p>\n

Hyalite Peak<\/a> is a more demanding trail for those who want a challenge and to also release an active dog’s energy. Upon your journey, you and Fido will experience views of the Gallatin Range and the Bridger mountains. Dense forests will shelter you as you and your pooch pass by waterfalls and streams. Some of the streams offer bridges, but others do not, so it’s recommended that you either bring some water shoes or an extra pair of socks in case you slip in!<\/p>\n

Taking your pooch out to the great outdoors is excellent for both you and Fido’s health and happiness! So instead of your usual route this weekend, go check out a trail with your canine companion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
