On our second day in Montana, we did like tourists do and we explored Ennis and the surrounding area. What a day we had learning about some of Montana’s rich history! Our Third day we found our way up into the mountains, as far as our vehicle would take us, to a spot where we parked so we could hike about half a mile to a small mountain lake. It was a beautiful little lake full of Cut bow trout. Everyone had a great time as we spent the entire day fishing and catching fish, after fish. These trips we do to Montana are absolutely amazing!
