North Dry Divide is a hard hike on natural surface in the Yellowstone Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back of about 13.6 miles, with a one-way gain of about 2,272 feet, from a low point near 7,338 feet to a high point of about 9,282 feet. Horses are allowed. The trail lies in the high country of the Custer Gallatin, so plan on a long, steep day. The climb makes it a demanding outing, and the natural surface adds to the challenge. Several other hikes start close by, including Eightmile and North Fork Eightmile, each about 2 miles away, and West Pine at about 2.4 miles. For an overnight base, the Forest Service route Fr 3163 East Fork Hyalite Ck Th 060 offers camping about 5 miles off.
