Summer Hike Series
We plan hiking adventures to high-elevation forests each summer with Wild Montana and other organizations. All hikes are open to the public. Join us to learn more about the conservation of whitebark pines, help conduct tree inventories and revel in the beauty of these wondrous landscapes.
Contact us if you are interested in leading an upcoming hike.
