After the festival we had a great time hiking around the Bitterroot Mountains.
It seemed that a hiking trail had been made down every little canyon. We had this particular hike recommended to us by several people, and it turned out to be quite lovely!
The first white settlers in Montana were Jesuit priests who came at the request of the Salish Indians. The Indians had sent three delegations to the east requesting the "black robes" to come, as they wanted the power and protection of the white man's God.
The original St. Mary's flooded because it was built to close too the river. This one dates from the 1860's.

Awesome! Looking forward to some pictures from Yellowstone! :D Let us know when you get home, we'll have to squeeze in another Ahrens-Bisceglia hiking trip before summer ends. Although, you all have probably had your share of hiking for a while :).

Actually, we're just in shape now. :D
