The potential for hiking and backpacking in Big Sky Country is endless and inviting. Plan your hikes well. When you are in the backcounty, it pays to know what to do if you get into an unexpected situation. Underestimating the time or distance involved can turn into a hike in the dark. At best, hiking in the dark is difficult and, at worst, it is dangerous. Most hikers average about 2 miles per hour on level trails, less on uphill trails. These averages do not include stops to rest and enjoy the surroundings. Reviewing trail maps and being well prepared will aid in a successful adventure.
