Superior Vista Trail HeadThe snow is almost gone in beautiful Western Montana and hiking season is just around the corner! As a warm-up we decided to hike the Superior Vista Trail this evening. This trail was just formalized in the last year or two and leads up a mountain on the North side of the town of Superior. It is moderate to difficult in terrain with the first 1000 feet at 10% grade and the remaining hike at 15-20% grade.

The trail is marked with several signs with photos of Superior, the county seat for Mineral County, in the early 1900's and the historical sites that can be seen from the trail.

Mineral County, Montana is ideal for outdoor recreation. In the county, there are 87 miles of river, 650 miles of streams, and over 50 high mountain lakes. In addition, there are over 400 miles of hiking trails and more than 1,000 miles of off-highway roads. 87% of land in the county is either forest service or state owned so private land is at a premium. In September of last year, Mineral County land was the most viewed and searched in the country on the popular website Landwatch.com.

The county is quickly becoming a vacation destination and a place for second homes.

I scrolled down through your blog and was looking at the incredible pictures.  You have some beautiful country out there.  I thought Elijay was beautiful and took several pictures but when I seen the one above , I thought I was looking at a picture, it's gorgeous.  I have some friends that moved out to Montana, now I see why.  This is what my dad would call "God's country"

Hi Bonnie,

I agree with Bonnie, these pictures are so beautiful.  I can imagine sipping a cup of coffee and watching a breathtaking sunrise.  I imagine you have many there.
