Butte, Montana

The weekend after Thanksgiving I made a quick road trip through central Idaho, over Lolo Pass and down into Montana - spending the night in Butte. Butte is a fascinating city, built on the richest hill on earth, with the fancy buildings in uptown to show off its wealth. There are a lot of mining towns scattered throughout the west, but I think Butte is the biggest. I got up early in the morning to watch the sunrise from The Granite Mountain Speculator Mine Memorial. The pictures on this post are from that general location. If you ever spend any time in Butte, be sure to get a Pork Chop Sandwich at Pork Chop Johns.
