Walk-A-Bout Helena

Weather Forecast for May 19 - 20 Winter Storm Warnings.

Dakota and I have 2 routes mapped out for hiking, which we take. Both are 1.7 miles, along the shoreline. Which at the rate the water is rising, we have until mid-June, where we will have to stop.

The MacDonald Pass, which is West of Helena on the Divide is expecting about 6 to 16 inches of snow. So, we'll see what happens. Temp today low 50's, with 40's on Thu. and Fri.

Did you know MacDonald was not the original road heading west from Helena. 

Nope, that belong to Priest Pass Toll Road owned by E.M. Dunphy

The Macdonald Pass tollhouse still exists toady, as part of a private home. The man for whom the pass is named, R. Alexander MacDonald, was an immigrant from Scotland. He operated the toll road for E. M. Dunphy, the man who built the road in 1867. MacDonald bought Dunphy out in 1876.

First really good day off with Great Weather, so what to do? We all went to Old town Helena and walked around and visited places, along the way. 

What better way to allow your friends to see where you have been is with photos and places we have visited.
