Black Sandy State Park

We are just outside of Helena MT.  Our site is on a bit of a bluff with a great view of Houser Lake and the mountains beyond.  Black Sandy State Park MTComp_2700It is mostly a fishing camp so very peaceful.  A neighbor even offered us a fresh caught trout.  We are mostly relaxing and enjoying the wonderful sunny, 700 weather.  Osprey, Bald Eagles, and Terns fish here.  Watching them is always entertaining.

The warm weather tempted us into a little hiking.  Trout Creek Trail follows a creek into a narrow, steep- cliffed canyon.  The challenge, 10 wet-foot creek crossings.  The highlight, canyon views.  3.5 out of 5 stars.  There was essentially no wildlife else, it was a great walk.
