Looking for a way to spend April Fools’ Day that won’t involve a prank? Swap the “gotcha” jokes for a moonlit trek at First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park. On Wednesday, April 1st, FWP Ranger Andy Keller is leading a three-mile guided night hike near Great Falls that is 100% legit. You’ll catch a killer Montana sunset followed by the rise of the full “Pink” moon over ancient cliffs—a combo of Big Sky views and indigenous history you won’t find anywhere else in Region 4.
Hike Details
- When: April 1st, 7:00 PM (approx. 2 hours).
- Where: 3.5 miles north of Ulm (I-15, Exit 270).
- The Terrain: Moderately strenuous cliffside trails. Wear sturdy boots and layers—that Missouri River wind is no joke, even in April!
- What to Expect: Educational and scenic feel. Learn how Native tribes utilized this landscape for centuries while the museum is closed for the night.
