Hiking: Lone Peak, MT

Published by justin1390 at 9:42 pm under Day Hikes Edit This

Nestled in the mountains of nearby Big Sky, Montana, hiking enthusiasts can enjoy a new challenge that only Montana can offer.  Lone Peak is an 11,166 foot mountain that is lacking trees and vegetation at the top.  Thus, views from the top are spectacular and the trails are fun to hike.

As far as skill level goes, the Summit Climb is going to be the hard.  2.8 miles round trip and extreme exposure are going to make this a hike for advanced hikers only.  The base elevation is 7500 feet at the Mountain Village.  Depending on where you start the hike from, you are looking at a potential 4000 foot elevation gain.

For those who are looking for an amazing climb, this is definitely a hike for you.  The views from the top and the beauty of the Big Sky area are phenomenal and offer you an unforgetable experience.  Happy hiking!
