I'd like to get some input from hikers who did the butte or anaconda routes in last last couple of years. (Freefall in yogi's book said the trail was finished in 09 and highly recommended it.) Sounds much more scenic and not along a road. Ley's maps are positive overall for the new trail, but there is a bit of navigation and ATV use near homestake. Anyone in the last two years go to Homestake? Sounds like a great option to save time rather than trying to get around the spread out town of Butte. <div>
Also, anyone go to Quarry Brewing on Galena Street in Butte? (Pretty neat the brewery is located on this street as Galena is a commonly used hop in beer!)<div>Of course if I get to Montana and don't have the time with winter approaching, Anaconda will be the desired route and all the planning for Butte would be discarded anyway.</div>
