Finally climbed Mount Helena - 10/9/2004

The weather cooperated and we didn't have any pressing engagements, so on 10/9 we finally climbed Mount Helena, the city park / mountain that overlooks Helena and is a relatively short climb from down town.



This was my first time up the mountain, while Michelle had been up once or twice.



We hiked up the old 1906 trail - quite steep - in probably an hour n' a half to two hours. It took 45 minutes or so to get back down.



From the top, the entire city of Helena is visible..
