If you’re
looking for a quiet spot to take the kids to play or throw a line in the water,
Kircher Discovery Park fits the bill. Easily accessed from both Meadow Village
and Town Center, this 0.5-mile out-and-back trail provides a wonderful nature
walk.
Kircher
Trail spurs off the asphalt-surfaced Lone Peak Trail near the intersection of
Lone Mountain Trail and Little Coyote Road. From here, there is a short descent
on a well-maintained natural surface trail suitable for walkers and strollers, just
be ready for the uphill on the way out.
As you get
close to the bottom of the hill, please respect the area closed for
revegetation, and continue on the main trail. There you’ll find picnic tables
in a wooded and shady area, great for hot summer days. Keep following the trail
to the left to get to the main attraction, a 500-square-foot tree fort designed
to look like a ship, complete with multi-level decking, slides, a spider
swing and climbing wall. There was recently a new large spider net installed to
add to the fun.
There are
several obvious paths to easily access the South Fork of the Gallatin River
where you can test your fishing abilities, dip your toes in the water and let
your furry friends get a drink and cool off.
Bring a
water bottle, a picnic, bug spray and your sense of adventure and imagination
to the pirate ship in the woods for mateys of all ages.

My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
