Bear Trap Canyon National Recreation Trail
Tight limestone canyon carved by the Madison River offering dramatic cliff faces, river reflections and intimate river-plain compositions. Best at golden hour and in fall when cottonwoods and aspens add color; spring shows higher flows and dynamic water. Trail is a moderate, sometimes steep hike from a small parking area—no entrance fee but limited parking; stay on trail (private ranchland nearby). Expect bugs in summer and icy patches in winter.
