We'll be doing a series of hikes this summer. Most of them will be moderate level hikes with some elevation gain. Excited to play in the mountains with you!

This moderate hike will be a 4 mile roundtrip hike to the first overlook on Sypes Canyon Trail. The elevation gain will be 1000 feet. We will have a little picnic at the overlook (about 2 miles in) before turning around to hike back out.

What to bring:
I recommend wearing a backpack/camelback ideally with a waist strap to take the pressure off your shoulders. Bring plenty of water, snacks, layers/rain jacket, baseball cap, sun glasses, bug spray, bear spray and comfortable, broken in hiking/walking shoes.

For the picnic, bring a snack to share with serving utensil if needed and your own plate & spork. Comment below what you're planning to bring or to get ideas.

Note - You will be responsible for hiking in with whatever you bring so make sure it's not too heavy/messy. ;-) Also, if you're new to the area and haven't done much hiking yet, please know that our air is thinner here which makes hiking a little more difficult. Make sure you acclimate to the area before joining us for any moderate level hikes. Message with any questions/concerns on whether this might be the right event for you.

Directions:
From downtown Bozeman, head north on N. 7th, which turns into Frontage Rd. When you reach Springhill Rd., turn right. Follow Springhill Rd. for about 1.5 miles and then turn right at Sypes Canyon Rd. Follow Sypes Canyon Rd. for about 3 miles. At the Y at the end of the road, bear right onto Churn Rd. and park at the signed trailhead.
