Mount Blackmore is probably my favorite hike I've done yet in the Bozeman area. With it's high elevation, it definitely wasn't an easy one for me. I headed out on this adventure with Nate and Gina. You can reach this peak a couple of different ways. We chose to start at the Hyalite Reservoir and head up the Blackmore trail. It's a beautiful route, starting first in the trees passing the slightly swampy Blackmore Lake and then begins to climb, gaining 3,400ft in 5 miles. With a summit of 10,154ft, I was starting to feel the affects of thinner air. Once on top the views of the surrounding peaks and valleys are stunning.
