The Bear Trap Canyon Trailhead.
The Madison River is a popular spot for flyfishing.
Enjoy hiking below beautiful rocky canyon walls. Watch out for the rattlesnakes in warmer months!
The route provides a little bit of elevation gain a mile in, but it is mostly flat overall.
A narrow section of the canyon.
Great canyon views!
The canyon makes for a great early season hiking.
River levels can rise suddenly due to releases from the Ennis dam roughly 6 miles upriver from Bear Trap Creek.
The return journey of this out-and-back is equally enjoyable!
