Really beautiful hike! It says moderate but I feel like it was harder than moderate LOL The hike is full of shade and it was literally so beautiful. I went on a Friday morning so not much traffic but I would imagine it gets pretty packed on weekends or in the afternoons. So WORTH it!

A hidden gem…so wary of recommending…a little treacherous once trails get snow/ice-covered…wonderful hikes, friendly hikers everywhere.

Bison were out and roaming right before sunset. I walked during the day and never saw them. Early in the day, or late in the day is the time to go looking for wildlife! Saw an elk, but couldn't get a good phone picture!
