Hogback

The Hogback is a four mile long "hogback" ridge running east-west in the northwestern corner of Paradise Valley, about 10 miles south of Livingston, and can be easily accessed by a parking lot only a couple of miles to the west of Highway 89. The trail starts at 4800' as a steep, switchback-free climb up the east end of the ridge before leveling out and following a series of humps until peaking at about 6500'. Being that there's no real "end" to the trail it can be customized to your liking or ability and the views of Paradise Valley and surrounding mountains are just fantastic regardless of how far you go. It melts out fairly early making it ideal for springtime hiking if you're willing to drive a little extra distance and there's probably descent winter access as well. All in all it's a really fun hike appropriate for all skill levels with plenty of revisit value.
