Trail Description:
Beautiful ride up to pristine lakes. Easy at first, but gets technical with lots of roots, rocks, and switchbacks. 4.5 miles one way to Emerald lake, then an additional 1.5 miles to Heather lake. Uphill all the way, but it's a great ride down. Watch for hikers and horses.

How to get there:
South of Bozeman down Hyalite Canyon road, about a mile past the waterfall.

I LOVE THIS RIDE!! one of the best all around rides ever, there are some technical climbing sections which are equally as technical coming down, there are sections on the downhill where you can open up and fly. Undoubtedly the best ride in the Bozeman area although Truman Gulch comes close, maybe the best in all of Montana.
