      Can't decide if your should buy or rent a boat to fish Montana's rivers? 
      Follow us down a familiar Big Hole river path for some bank fishing.
     The path follows the remains of a narrow gauge railroad built in 1919.
     Parking is on the north side of the bridge. (right side of the bridge in the picture below.)

    The railroad was abandoned in the early 1930's after silver prices plummeted.
    The wooden railroad bridges are long gone, so you have to do a "little scrambling" up the rocky slopes.
     32804  Can you see the white concrete bridge footings near the dark cliff?  (Picture above - Lower right hand corner)
     Can you see the entrance to the first tunnel? (Picture above - Upper right hand corner)
Picture panorama of the Railroad tunnel above the Big Hole River Montana.
     32804  Scramble past the concrete footing and up the loose rock. 
     Now you should be able to see the first tunnel entrance. (Picture above - Center)
