Camping and Hiking in Montana
If
you want to explore hiking and camping in Montana the first thing I
reccommend is that you buy a copy of the excellent book Hiking Montana
by Bill Schneider. This is the classic hiking guide for Montana and in
2004 the 25th anniversary edition was released. I can't begin
to tell you what a great tool this book is. It provides an excellent
overview
of hiking and camping in all parts of Montana. The hikes described are
very representative of what you can find in an area and I consider this
book to be a "must have" for anyone interested in Montana hikes. For
information about purchasing this great book please click here Hiking
Montana: 25th Anniversary Edition
.
Since I will assume that most
visitors to
this site have already purchased the book described above I will tend
to
focus on Montana hikes that are not covered in the book. I
will put
up new
hike descriptions as I have time but it may be slow as I develop the
site and experiment with design. There are many hiking guides and maps
for Montana, Yellowstone and Glacier check be sure to look in our Books
& Maps section. We feature a number of excellent
books that can really provide you with some great trip planning
information.
Throughout the site I will offer
personal accounts of hiking various trails
in Montana, Yellowstone Park and Glacier Park. Most of these are my
stories but as time goes on I will add stories from friends and
readers. I have only put up a few hikes for now but will add them as I
have time to generate new pages.
Hiking and Camping opportunities abound in Montana and the surrounding areas. No matter if you are a first time car camper or an expert mountaineer you will find a perfect place in the vast wilds of the area. In our Camping section you will find stories about places where I recommend you enjoy camping in the wilds, as well as some how to advice for various types of camping.
In the Equipment section you will find how to advice, equipment reviews and practical suggestions about the gear and equipment that help to make a trip special.
You can find general information about Montana, Yellowstone and Glacier as well as trip planning information in our Traveling Montana section. Montana is a huge state and filled with out-of-the-way places that can really make a vacation special. Hopefully you will find out about a few here
