Montana Part VI

We had much better weather this week, and we stayed busy!
 
Monday - It was still kind of rainy, so we hung around the house. Thankfully, it cleared up after J finished up work. So we headed to Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park for a hike.
Tuesday- Tuesday after we finished our school work, we headed to the World Mining Museum in Butte. It was neat to see how an old mining town would be setup and see all kinds of mining equipment. We also went down into a mine! After J got off work, we headed to Butte to do Jon's Gulch Loop.
Wednesday- The kids and I went to Bozeman to hike Drinking Horse Mountain. We found a cool park, then hit the grocery store.
Thursday- We went to Grant-Kohrs National Historic Ranch and Lost Creek State Park. After work, we went on a hike in Butte to an old train trestle and tunnel. I couldn't find a good mileage map for this, but it ended up being over 5 miles. oops!
Friday- The kids and I did a hike at Headwaters State Park and went to Three Forks for pie. We ended the night with pizza and Pinocchio. 
Saturday- We went to Clark's Lookout SP, Bannack Ghost Town SP, and walked around Dillon.
Sunday- We went hiking in Hyalite Canyon then went back the the park the kids and I discovered Wednesday. 
Monday- June's knee was bothering her, so we stayed around the airbnb watching tv, listening to audiobooks, and packing up.
