On the Trail: Kircher Trail

Kircher Trail is the perfect pit stop when walking or biking through Big Sky’s Meadow Village. Easily accessed from both Meadow Village and Town Center, this ½-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 this intersection, there’s a moderately steep embankment on the natural surface trail to the small, secluded sanctuary of an open-space park.
New this summer, there’s a ¼-mile extension that loops through the park from its starting point on the embankment of the South Fork of the West Fork of the Gallatin River. Enjoy a casual walk by the river, stop to have a picnic, or bring your fly rod and cast some dry flies to test your fishing abilities on the small and abundant trout in this tributary of the Gallatin River.
There is no parking at the head of Kircher Trail, so it’s best to park in either Meadow Village or Town Center and access it via Lone Peak Trail. With such close proximity to stores and restaurants in Meadow Village, this trail and park are an excellent option to share some of Big Sky’s beauty with children, pets or guests after a nice meal or checking out a local shop.

Event Details
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
