MOTHER'S DAY THE WAY MOM LIKES IT

Drop dead gorgeous weekend in Montana and what better way to celebrate Mother's Day than for Mom to hike the Ridge Trail, all 7 miles of it.

This is one of the earliest times in spring we have been out hiking. Wildflowers are starting to blossom, but it is still early.

By this point and after running a lot, Gidgie and Jake were ready to heel
