What comes to mind when you think of Montana hiking trails? Probably the forested paths of the Bitterroot or the most famous hikes of Glacier National Park, all of which are beautiful. But there’s another side of Montana that has an entirely different look, and the Calypso Trail in Southeast Montana is a great way to get a better look at it.
The path takes you through the Terry Badlands Wilderness Study Area, which is home to some very unique scenery.
Terry is an unexplored gem that many Montanans just see from the road as they pass through.
