Have you or someone you know been considering moving to Bozeman, Montana? Well, we are here to tell you to spread the word about how awful Bozeman is ;)

Long winters: Be prepared for 50 inches of annual snowfall. We aren’t talking snow for just a couple of weeks, we are taking snow in the fall and again the first day of summer.

Kirk Hill Hiking Trails in Bozeman, Montana

One of the fun things about this trail is the fact that you can customize your run with several different loops to choose from. It’s also a fun run with tons of little switchbacks (which are a blast when trotting downhill), and additions ranging from boardwalks, fences, benches, overlooks, and also some interpretive opportunities. The trail is pretty steep if you run clockwise to the far left of the loop. Not too bad if you run it counterclockwise keeping to the perimeter. It has some nice flat sections to stretch your legs out on as well. Overall, a super nice trail for running/hiking. Biking is not allowed and dogs are required to be leashed.

The Kirk Hill trails are located on S 19th right as it hooks…
