It winds around all the way to the Old Montana Prison along the Clark Fork River.
We walked every path for a total of 2 miles.
There would be more walking at our afternoon stop: Grant Kohrs Ranch, a National Historic Site.The ranch tells the story of the transition from open-range cattle industry of the 1860s to a more scientific approach (and the beginning of barbed wire fencing and growing your own alfalfa) in the 1890s.
