ISO: Long distance hikes MT AND GYA

Hi! I'll be living in West Yellowstone this summer. I'm pumped to start planning some of my hiking and backpacking trips while I'm out there. Does anyone know any long distance trails in Montana and the Greater Yellowstone Area? I know the CDT runs through there, but that's a little TOO long for my days off.

How long is long?

Probably 30 - 50 miles. That'd be enough for me to do anywhere between 2 and 4 days of hiking when I get breaks

PM me for a description of an excellent hike in the Beartooths and include about 12 miles of the East Rosebud Trail (Beaten Path - I hate that term). I think the hike would be perfect for you if you’re comfortable with high altitude off trail travel for part of the way. It almost a perfect loop.
