Bozeman: Amazing Prank Goes Viral on Social Media

On Saturday morning, hikers got an unexpected surprise on the "M" trail near Bozeman, when they found a massive Sinclair dinosaur perched at the top of the trail.

We still don't know how the dinosaur was transported up the trail, but it sounds like it was just a harmless prank. Pictures of the dinosaur with Bozeman in the distance have been circulating on social media.

KBZK also spoke to a representative at the Sinclair gas station, and while they found the prank amusing, they don't want it to happen again. The dinosaur was returned to the gas station where it belongs, and as far as we know, it wasn't damaged.

To be honest, I'm a little impressed. As someone who isn't much of a hiker, just thinking about lugging a dinosaur up a mountain is exhausting. I'm actually impressed. Hopefully, the punishment for the prank isn't too harsh.

Here's a video of a group of people taking the dinosaur back down the mountain. The video was shared by Bridger Aerospace.

When I first saw the picture of Facebook, I wasn't mad. It put a smile on my face. They could've been vandalizing something of spraying graffiti on a wall around town, but instead, they were getting some exercise carrying a dinosaur up a mountain.
