Description

Added by Maryssa Fenwick

A 4-mile, dog friendly loop trail located right outside of Butte, Montana.

Maud S is a great moderately traveled trail that weaves you through dry grassland, forests, and provides you with beautiful mountain views totaling 994 ft of elevation gain. You will find people hiking, running hills, mountain biking, and walking their dogs on this trail. After completing the steep 500 ft elevation gain at the start of the trail, you may turn right and follow the abandoned train tracks for a more moderate (out and back) hike or continue up the vertical trail and finish the loop. Both are great options!

Easy to find, right off of I-90, your GPS should lead you right to it!

Hike to Lower and Upper Seymour Lakes

There are so many wilderness areas to choose from in Montana, it can be quite overwhelming. But try this on for size: the Pintlers are essentially Glacier National Park, without the people. Not only does it traverse the CDT, but chances are you won't see a lot of people, if any, on your adventure.The trail starts at the Lower Seymour Lake Trailhead and is relatively flat for the first couple of...

Relax at Potosi Hot Springs

Rain filled the air and fog hung low. It was to dreary to do much, but the idea of soaking in a natural warm springs beneath the peaks of the Tobacco Root mountains was too tempting to stay in side.Potosi Hot Springs is about 25 minutes out of the town of Pony, MT. It’s one of my favorite places to be. Once entering the valley, time slows down. Follow the meandering dirt road until the Potosi c...
