Lesser-known trail that begins at a small parking area just north of Tower Junction, and follows the Yellowstone River to its confluence with the Lamar River. Rated Intermediate/Difficult due to significant exposure.

Beginning at a small parking area just north of Tower Junction, this trail parallels the Yellowstone River. You'll experience mild inclines but beware of significant exposure for most of the hike. The final descent to the confluence is rocky and steep, with small boulders along the river. Be careful not to twist your ankle! This hike is enjoyable in all seasons but beware of slippery conditions. This trail is not officially maintained, so please respect the flora and fauna.
