Montana's Best Hiking Trail Is....

Located just outside of West Yellowstone, you'll find Montana's best hiking trail, Fairy Falls Trail.

Here is what USA Today had to say about this hiking trail:

Fairy Falls is a 4.8-mile trail in Yellowstone National Park and is considered an easy hike to one of the park's most magnificent waterfalls. You'll traverse through a pine forest on this hike that takes three to five hours to complete.

Reviews of the trail say the longest duration of the hike time is spent enjoying the waterfall.

It's kid-friendly as it's relatively flat; just make sure to wear appropriate shoes as the trail is mostly gravel.

Also get there early, as later in the day it does tend to get busy and parking is limited.
