Hiking

There are beautiful hikes in the Valley for all levels. A few we recommend are:

-- Pine Creek Falls or Pine Creek Lake: you can make this out-and-back hike as easy or hard as you would like. A moderate hike will take you up to the falls, or if you want something more strenuous, hike all the way up to the lake. Trekking poles recommended!

-- Suce Creek Trail: you will have a few options from this trailhead, we recommend the 5.9 mile moderate loop hike.


**Don't forget your bear spray!

Fly Fishing Float

Take part in the classic Montana pastime of fly fishing!

We recommend booking a guided float down the Yellowstone River with Gallatin River Guides.

** Please note, the Yellowstone River is a freestone river, which means it could be not suitable for a float in late June depending on snowfall this winter. Please talk through details and backup plans with GRG before finalizing booking.

Fish Depuy Spring Creek

DePuy Spring Creek is considered by many to be one of the finest spring creeks on the planet. Its productive waters located in the heart of Paradise Valley draw anglers from far and wide, and the fishing is great year round. Check out their website for rates and availability. The spring is fished on foot in a "walk and wade", and can be with or without a fishing guide. (Contact Gallatin River Guides for more information on securing a guide. If you prefer an unguided trip and need to rent gear, visit Sweetwater Fly Shop.)

Fish Armstrong Spring Creek
