Livingston Meyers River View Trail w Mountain Views | Frigid Winter Walk by the Yellowstone
Hello Walkers,
Today we’re heading out for a virtual winter walk from Veterans Bridge in Livingston, Montana, following the Meyers River View Trail and then looping back along the ice-filled Yellowstone River on a bright, clear, and very cold day. The temperature sits at 13°F, but the sunshine and blue sky make it one of those classic Montana winter days that feels crisp, clean, and alive.
We start at Veterans Bridge, where the Yellowstone River flows wide beneath us, rimmed with ice and steam rising gently into the cold air. From there, we pick up the Meyers River View Trail, a quiet stretch that runs close to the river and offers unobstructed views of snow-covered banks and distant mountain ridges. The trail is firm underfoot, the cottonwoods stand bare and silver, and the only sounds are the river moving beneath sheets of ice and the crunch of snow with each step.
On the return, we follow the river back toward the bridge, walking alongside the Yellowstone as it pushes steadily through winter. Ice shelves line the edges, broken floes drift slowly downstream, and sunlight sparkles off the water. Despite the cold, this is a peaceful and invigorating walk—perfect for settling into a steady treadmill pace while imagining frosted breath and cold air filling your lungs.
