Billy's Hiking Haunts

Glacier Park Fans, below please find an ongoing list of some of my favorite hikes. I've started with a few for the whole herd and one that the kids might find a bit challenging (I totally relate to being under three feet tall).

Be sure to visit the associated links to see the trail locations, and there's even a virtual eHike for those interested in sampling the Avalanche Creek / Trail of the Cedars area before arriving here.

Have a favorite trail? Make a suggestion, email me here.
