First I drove from my house in Bozeman, Montana to the Drinking Horse Mountain trailhead. It is located on Bridger Canyon road.
On the way to the trailhead I took some pictures of Drinking Horse Mountain. It is about 629 feet tall. I parked my 1993 Subaru Legacy in the roadside parking lot. As you can see, my car is almost as tall as the mountain. Like any good city trail there is a nice informational kiosk with a map and some little handouts. I stopped and took a picture for you to see. Suddenly I was at the top of Drinking Horse Mountain consuming a double cheeseburger. I kept the cheeseburger wrapped in a knitted hat inside a stuff sack while I hiked. It was warm and delicious. Near the summit of Drinking Horse Mountain someone has constructed a nifty fort out of dead tree branches. It was neat. The proper summit of Drinking Horse Mountain doesn’t provide too amazing of views, but slightly to the North a quality view of Bozeman is there for all to see. I made a thirty-five second video of the hike to the summit. |
