We hope you’ll join us on this moderate hike to Buffalo Hills, a gentle route that winds through vibrant grasslands, open pine forests, rich beaver wetlands, and serene shallow lakes nested beneath long, sweeping ridges that make up the Badger-Two Medicine Area. As we make our way, the jagged peaks of Glacier National Park rise dramatically along the northern horizon, providing a majestic backdrop to an exceptionally tranquil backcountry walk. In partnership with Wild Montana, this hike is family-friendly and welcome to all nature lovers. Come experience Fall in the Badger!(opens in new tab)
