Custer Gallatin National Forest Hike (via History Rock)(edit)

Overview

This is an easy one way trail in Custer Gallatin National Forest.

This hike begins in Hyalite Canyon, and cuts across the ridge to South Cottonwood. It meanders through pine forest, making a gradual uphill climb.

A shorter out-and-back hike can be made to History Rock, a large sandstone outcropping covered in engravings that are years old.

Getting Started

Large parking lot, never full.

Taking Children

Great hike for kids since the ascent is gradual.
