Come explore one of Montana’s newest recommended wilderness areas, the Slippery Bill-Puzzle, which connects the Great Bear Wilderness with the Badger-Two Medicine, and discover the importance of permanently protecting these wild lands for fish and wildlife, and quiet recreation. This hike climbs through rolling, forested terrain in the Puzzle Hills with views of the surrounding mountains before descending to the Challenge Creek cabin.
