On the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Jones Gulch is an easy hike that provides great views into Montana’s premier wilderness area. Leaving the trailhead, you’ll cross over tiny Jones Creek and hike through young, dense, and emerald-green forest. Before long, the trail crosses an old dry riverbed filled with wildflowers that bloom in early summer. Continue on, especially if you’ve brought a picnic lunch - the trail eventually peters out at a great picnic spot, where you can soak up the sun and enjoy views that stretch deep into the heart of the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
