Things to Do
It is important to note that Gallatin County and surrounding areas have so many awesome things to do but it takes a while to get everywhere. I'd recommend mapping your destinations before you make plans to do multiple things in one day.

Hiking Trails
Bear spray is recommended on most hiking trails; however, all of these trails are pretty popular with a lot of foot traffic.
Lava Lake Trailhead
Lava Lake trail is about a three-mile hike that gains over 500 ft a mile. Hikers should plan on an hour and a half to two hours or longer to reach the lake. Although the return trip is downhill it’s usually not much faster.
South Cottonwood Trailhead
This trail is great if it's hot outside because it is mostly tree covered. The site will say 2-12 miles but it's not a loop so you can turn around at any time. If you are staying close to Gateway, it is a great hike to check out.
Hyalite Reservoir
Great area to explore with many different hiking trails. You can drive up to the reservoir and enjoy the views without hiking as well.
Palisade Falls is a great hike for little ones or those who don't like hiking but like to explore. It is a 1 mile round trip hike on a paved trail with little elevation gain.
History Rock is also an easy hike if you turn around at the rock. It is 2 miles round trip with only 300 feet of elevation gain.
Storm Castle Peak Trailhead
This is a pretty challenging hike but the views at the end are awesome. It is 5 miles round trip with 2,300 feet of elevation gain.
Sacajawea Peak
This is another challenging hike with amazing views (less challenging than storm castle with better views but harder to get to). It is the tallest peak in the Bridger Range. The road to Fairy Lake Campground can be a little western so if you don't have a vehicle with clearance I'd advise against this hike.
This is a four mile round trip hike with 2,000 feet of elevation gain.
