This Low Key Waterfront Trail In Montana Will Turn You Into A Regular Hiker
Hiking is a fantastic way to get some exercise — but hiking in Montana is an experience like no other. And if you have yet to make the transition to a regular hiker, we highly recommend heading toward Red Lodge and discovering the Lost Lake Trail. Not only does it get more beautiful with every step, its stunning scenery will make you want to make hiking a regular hobby.

Although it's almost 10 miles in length, the hike itself is relatively easy.

Montana definitely has a lot of secrets (which we love), and this one is pretty special.

If you want to avoid the snow, however, you may want to wait until summer.
Don’t let the length of this hike intimidate you — the Lost Lake Trail is amazing, and you’ll love every step. But if you’d rather start small, you can always try one of these trails under three miles long.
