Confirmed from Triple Tree Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area with varied terrain, including creeks, and meadows, as well as diverse plant life.

“A little muddy in the spring, but it's always worth the stunning views and lookout over bozeman.”
“The path is well marked, but truly single-track with some moderate climbs to the peak.”
“Relatively easy hike, loved the weather/temps and the birds.”
This is a nice trail, it's usually a little busy but so are most trails around Bozeman. It's easy and quick to get to and has beautiful views varying from fields to creeks. It is a good mixture of hills and lighter hiking. Is 8 miles total but you can just do parts of it.
Spectacular little fall ride or trail run. The leaves were spectacular. The climb was punchy and challenging. The decent was speedy and fun. This is a gem close to town.
Beautiful trail with diverse topography - grassy meaadows, deep woods, and the river! Loved this hike; great for families and not too steep!!
Beautiful trail and easy enough for beginners or anyone looking to just have a relaxing hike.
