Keyhole State Park will proudly be hosting a series of hikes throughout the summer to promote its recent and continuing trail expansion and development. Visitors are encouraged to attend the Kickoff to Summer event – which will have a “Hiking into Summer” theme and an Annual Day Use Permit giveaway – to kick-off another great summer!

Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site will be offering an increased number of programs this year with a new focus on accessibility and utilizing its outdoor spaces for recreation. There will be an American Sign Language guided tour, two Visually Impaired Tours, and several guided hikes including hikes to the top of Pilot Knob, Women’s Hikes, and a night hike. Other educational talks and programs will be offered such as a Care of the Wounded program, Post Cemetery Tour, and events offered by the Fort Phil Kearny/Bozeman Trail Association. 

Trail End State Historic Site in partnership with the Trail End Guilds will be offering new events this year in addition to its beloved annual events. The Summer Evening at the Mansion, Murder Mystery, Vintage Car Show, Holiday Open House, and Christmas with the Kendricks events will be returning this year and will be better than ever.
