    Tips

    December 7, 2022

    The Black Butte Trail is a challenging hike that can take you to the Sky Rim trail and the 3,002-metre (9,851 ft) summit of Big Horn Peak. It starts by exploring a dense, forested valley beneath a number of volcanic buttes, before ascending the ridge that divides the Gallatin and Yellowstone River valleys. Make sure you are equipped with proper hiking footwear and bring plenty of water in the warmer months.
