Hyalite Canyon Hike | Wide Trail

Hyalite Canyon Hike | Wide Trail  The trail starts wide at the lower altitudes; yet narrows a bit as the climb gets steeper.  The hike gets tougher when the trail gets steeper and the trail needs switchbacks.  Notice the tree roots and rocks in the trail.  Good hiking boots help.  To read the whole story with all images, see Hyalite Canyon Hike | a 7 Image Story.

Hyalite Canyon Hike | Waterfall Start  Late September can be quite cool around Bozeman, Montana.  Obviously, this day was very warm as we started our hike up Hyalite Canyon.  Of course, the weather cooled as we climbed higher along the trail.  Although there are several waterfalls along the trail, this one seems to be the tallest.  Obviously, this image was captured by a hiking friend.  To read the whole story with all images, see Hyalite Canyon Hike | a 7 Image Story.

The trail starts wide at the lower altitudes; yet narrows a bit as the climb gets steeper. The hike gets tougher when the trail gets steeper and the trail needs switchbacks. Notice the tree roots and rocks in the trail.  Good hiking boots help.  Even in the deep woods, patches of color delight hikers as they struggle uphill.  It’s amazing how much fall color appears on the forest floor.  Every so often, a ray of light pokes through the forest canopy to reveal a burst of color right along the trail.  A mountain stream winds down the canyon crisscrossing the trail from time to time. The sound of the water rippling down the mountain continually remind.

Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Hyalite Canyon Hike.
