This worthwhile drive explores the hidden world of the Tobacco Root Mountains, a burly range that’s relatively unappreciated compared to the nearby Madison, Pioneer, and Pintler Mountains, despite its raw beauty and 43 peaks towering above 10,000 feet many of them still unnamed. Few remote areas offer a better glimpse of Montana’s mining past than the Tobacco Roots, which are littered with rusting equipment from the pick-and-shovel days. Pony is an old gold-mining town of about 100 families clinging to the Tobacco Roots’ northeastern foothills, and the South Boulder Road pierces the heart of the range, providing trail access to

Bear Paw National Battlefield (32 miles round-trip) In the Land of the 10,000 Haystacks chapter you read about Chief Joseph and the valiant march of 800 Nez Perce as they tried to escape the U.S. Cavalry in 1877.

Miles and Oliver O. Howard on a frigid October day after a 1,710-mile journey spanning four months and four states. A 1-mile interpretive trail offers a haunting

For the sake of lodging and dining options, we actually start the Warrior Trail in Hardin (pop. 3,730), a mixed agricultural community of Anglos and Indians on the edge of the Crow Reservation. Starting the loop, Hardin is largely nondescript but does have a Custer’s Last Stand Reenactment in a field northwest of town every June. Some historical buildings are worth seeing, too, including St. John’s Catholic Church and Hardin Depot, but the area’s history is best captured at the Big Horn County Historical Museum & Visitor Center (406-665-1671). The 22-acre site features more than two dozen outdoor structures and

Montana as an Emerging Gateway Although Latinos have lived in Billings and Butte since the early twentieth century, the Gallatin Valley has recently received such an influx of documented and undocumented workers as to cause alarm among some residents of the community. In early 2007, three months of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle were devoted to letters to the editors sparked by a city commissioner’s essay on the need to understand the migrants’ experience. A brief survey of responses (about 20) reveals inherited racial discrimination, with many respondents referring to the negative impact of Latinos on the local economy. At the
