This was a great hike out of Big Sky Montana. It didn’t take long to get into the basin and to be surrounding by the dramatic rock formations. The wildflowers were incredible. We also saw a few pika and marmots along the way.

This hike was marked difficult in my trail book for good reason it was very rocky and steep but totally worth it.
