The hiking in Montana is, quite simply, tremendous. The numerous mountain ranges, national parks and other remote corners of the state provide unlimited hiking possibilities in beautiful and varied terrain. No matter the type of trails you like to hike on or the type of scenery you want to see, Montana almost certainly has a hiking trail for you.
As I love hiking, and because hiking is often needed to reach excellent fishing holes, I've put together this section on bigskyfishing that provices information about the hiking gear you will want to have for an enjoyable venture into the wilds of Montana.
The hiking gear covered in this section of the site goes into detail about the gear needed for day hiking. In the future, a special backpacking gear section will also be created, although many of the items covered here are applicable to backpacking as well.
It's my hope that anyone who visits this section of Big Sky Fishing in search of hiking gear will come away with a good idea of what gear is needed and why.
