The complete guide to hiking the Big Snowies High Route. A 27-mile backcountry backpacking route that traverses the entire Big Snowy Mountain Range in Montana.
The Big Snowies are a small isolated mountain range in Montana. Don't let the small size of the range fool you. The mountains themselves are still big and you'll find the same rugged features here that you would in other Montana ranges. One thing that makes the range unique is that the tops of the mountains are mostly high grassy plateaus instead of sharp rocky ridgelines. This makes for extremely pleasant high alpine hiking and a very fun traverse across the entire range.
