Face of Mountain Trail

Gunther tuckered out after 7 mile hike.

July 27, 2018

P. and I got up at 5:30 to drink coffee, eat cereal with canned milk, then drive to Red Lodge, thence to the Sunlight Ranch on Meeteese Road.  Trailhead for Face of Mountain Trail No. 7.  We’d hiked the trail two other times, the first time with an organized Montana Wilderness Society group.  

Turns out the flora is natural and wild, I’d say.  Thanks to excellent land management practices by Sunlight, who provided a parking area and some signs out on some rolling prairie.  

We walked through sagebrush and grass for the first mile, or so, then up a gentle switchback system about 1000 feet higher.  P. said it is one of her ten favorite views in Montana.
