Beehive Basin Trail
Lee Metcalf Wilderness – Gallatin National Forest
Great hike, even though the elevation just about did us flatlanders in. Beautiful views all the way up, but the best is at the top. Well worth the sore muscles to get there. As an added bonus we say a lone moose on the way down.

Siege Trail
Big Hole National Battlefield
I was expecting your typical walk across an open field, like you get at so many battlefields, but this hike was surprising. While the story of the battle is sobering, and always in the back of your mind, the trail itself is a very pleasant walk. Starting down along the Big Hole River you eventually start the gradual climb onto the wooded hillside where the soldiers waited to attack. A short side trail can take you up to where the howitzer canon was captured, and then the trail ends at an overlook of the battlefield below. Overall a great experience.

Ousel Falls
A short, wonderful hike after lunch took us to the beautiful Ousel Falls. Your follow the crystal clear South Fork of the West Fork of the Gallatin River all the way to the point where it roars over a series of cascades. The trail was easy, and well maintained.
