[Hike] Wild Bill Lake

The Wild BIll Lake Trail is located in the southwest corner of Red Lodge Montana. It is a short half mile loop around the lake with a fishing pier and picnic area. 

After a morning of horseback riding, we were looking forward to stretching our legs, getting in some steps, and exploring the trails of Red Lodge. The highlight of the hike was being surrounded by the lake the entire time!
