Black Mountain Lodge
This is the lodge area of the Black Mountain Lodge which also features 4 other cabins on site. Amazing place to stay just outside of Helena, MT. No cell service, no wifi. Had an amazing stay here while visiting Montana. Could not be more relaxing. via 500px http://ift.tt/2s5p9wc
Helena Fire Tower
Fire plagued Helena in the early days. Wooden buildings huddled together and a lack of abundant water made stopping fires once they got started very difficult. Several huge fires in the 1870s were particularly horrific, wiping out much of the central business district and many homes. It should be remembered that, during those pre-railroad days,Continue reading “Helena Fire Tower”
Montana
This photo was taken along Highway 287 just north of Three Forks, MT. The highway follows the Missouri. This scene is just to the west and would be what Lewis and Clark saw as they made their way to the three forks. via 500px http://ift.tt/2s58PPX

In the late 19th century (there was possibly some activity in 1901 too), it was an active geyser that erupted frequently. Most eruptions were about 100 feet high, althoughContinue reading “Excelsior Geyser Crater”
Sapphire Pool
“Temperature 200-202°F Dimensions 18×30 feet. Sapphire Pool, named for its blue, crystal-clear water and for its resemblance to an Oriental sapphire, was once a placid hot pool. It was not until after the 1959 earthquake that major eruptions occurred. For several years following the earthquake powerful eruptions at two hour intervals reached 150 feet. TheContinue reading “Sapphire Pool”

Jenny Lake early in the morning. I was the only one in the area. Had an uneasy feeling of being watched by Grizzly Bears. via 500px http://ift.tt/2srflO4
