Hiking & Backpacking
Don't be offended if a local tells you to "hit the trail": it's friendly advice. Many of the region's wonders are hidden from the highways and can be accessed only on foot. Over 4,000 miles of hiking trails lead to the bottom of canyons, climb mountaintops, follow river and lake shores, and pause at thundering waterfalls contained within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem's 14 million acres of public land. The terrain varies from toddler-gentle to technical climbing-extreme, with every grade and condition in between.
