So if you think that 50 miles on a bike is hard then try 20 miles on foot! For this merit badge you have to do 5, 10 mile hikes and 1, 20 mile hike.

| Find the snake! |
The weirdest/coolest hike was "Bear Trap Canyon" along the Madison River in Bozeman, MT. Anyway we saw a snake going across the path and then 1/2 an hour later we saw a rattle snake at a rock outcropping. We were so close that it rattled at us! That's when we decided to turn around. We finished the 10 miles on the gravel road.
The prettiest hike was Hyalite Lake. As you hike up to the lake you pass 11 water falls and gain 2,000 feet in elevation. Since, we had done Bear Trap the day before we were tired but it was a pretty hike!

The hardest one was the 20 miler because it was the longest but it was the most rewarding at the end. We hiked up Sourdough Canyon to Mystic Lake. The hike was flat and a popular one because it was so close to town. We left the trail head at 6:00 am and were at the lake by 10:30. Did I mention it was 34 degrees at the trail head, in August! It took us a long time to come down the hill because of some foot problems and we were ALL so tired!
