Artist Point

Reviewed By Tommy599 - Two Rivers, United States

We crossed Chittenden bridge across the Yellowstone river; stopping first at Uncle Toms to view the smaller upper Falls, then on to Artist Point to view the MAGNIFICENT lower falls and the unbelievable colors of the canyon. It is IMPOSSIBLE to describe the majesty of this waterfall and canyon colors, so we will not even try,

Silver Run Trails

Reviewed By AnokaBrewer

Great area to hike and some people were also mountain biking it. Plenty of room to park. The trail is fairly flat. The return trail goes along the river. Beautiful views. I did see one person fishing in the river as well. They did spot grizzly bears in the area in July and August.

Ousel Falls Trail

Reviewed By 423MichelleM423 - Orlando, United States

This was an easy hike through beautiful mountain scenery. The snow made for a gorgeous backdrop for our walk to the falls. The frozen falls are just beautiful! There is ample parking and the path is cleared even in winter. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a beautiful walk/hike while in Big Sky!

Avalanche Peak Trail

Reviewed By DQShaw - York, United States

Great hike with amazing views. It is moderate to strenuous and you need to be prepared with the right hiking boots. Bring water, food, give yourself enough time to enjoy the hike and bring bear bells. We didn't see any bears this time but just down the road closer to the East Entrance we saw three grizzly bears.

Pine Creek Trail

Reviewed By LaurenEA91 - Chadds Ford, United States

This trail was about 25 minutes from where we were staying. Well worth the drive. Hike was a bit challenging and very rocky. Waterfall was a little over a mile from the trail head. There were other people on the trail but it wasn't terribly crowded.

Observation Point Trail

The perfect spot to view Old Faithful from a distance.

Reviewed By jesseo582 - Jackson, United States

It’s so close to the developed area yet gets you deeper into Yellowstone for such little extra effort! Call the geyser recorded line to coordinate Old Faithful’s eruption with your time up there. Solitary Geyser, down the trail, won’t make you wait more than eight minutes but you may have to try again to get a photo, there’s only one brief warning splash then sploosh it’s over! Warning, some of the reviews to follow are not of this attraction, I don’t know what they were thinking. One is Mt. Sheridan where there’s a fire lookout, though they underreport I’m the mileage, and another is at Canyon.
