In the northern Crazy Mountains, the long hike up Loco Mountain serves up stunning views of the Crazy, Bridger, and Absaroka ranges.From the trailhead outside of Wilsall, you’ll cross back and forth over the Middle Fork of Cottonwood Creek and climb gently to a broad, grassy ridge. The trail follows the ridge, which is mostly flat, to the wide summit of Loco Mountain, but you’ll have to remember to watch where you’re going: it’s easy to be distracted by the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding ranges, plains, and valleys.
