Butte, Montana's Copperway (December 28th)

While on holiday in Montana, on December 28th, I took a walk with my parents along Butte's relatively new walking trail, the Copperway. The photos below were all taken along the trail.

Foreground: Uptown Butte & the Hotel Finlen, Background: Downtown Butte/The Flats and Timber Butte on the right, Distant: The Highland Mountains (Also a very stout and stagnant inversion in place)

West down Caledonia Street, the Immaculate Conception (IC) Church and some nice turbulent wave cloud action.



The Orphan Girl Headframe at the World Museum Of Mining. Distant: Pintler Mountains right to left, Mount Haggin, Short Peak, and Mount Evans. Also, nice turbulent clouds.

All in all, it was a nice day for a walk. We were just above the inversion and enjoyed temperatures at or around 30ºF, which isn't all that bad in full sun. Notice, though, the lack of snow. It's been a dry winter in Southwest Montana so far.
