Cedarvale Ranch in Hillsboro, Montana

Hello Everyone, here is the final addition to our last camping trip of 2018.
Our campground was in Wyoming but only a short 30-45 minute drive to Montana where the remnants of the Cedarvale Ranch still stand.
Be fore warned that there are a lot of pictures for this one.

They let you know the length of your hike.
It's funny, because it was a harder hike going down to the town than it was going back to the truck on the same trail. I had to stop a couple of times on the way down and none on the way back.

On the way down to Cedarvale Ranch.
Each one of the signs has a bench to relax on if you don't want to take the full hike.

This is one of the old corral and stable areas.

 

A rustic hand made bench almost half way down to Hillsboro.

 

A couple of deer hiding in the tall grass just outside the town.

 

The start of the small community of Hillsboro, Montana.

The Hillsboro Post Office.

The Large Chicken Coop.

Eddy Hulbert's House and a small coop.

The Milk House

A bridge over the creek and the Root Cellar.

We couldn't get a good picture of the inside of the root cellar but had a place to hang thing, and lots of bins and a few shelves left over.

 

The Dude Cabin and the Blacksmiths Shop.

You can see where the forge once sat in the corner.

 

 This bench is where Eddy Hulbert was said to do his silver work.

This is where the Barry's home once stood. It burned down during the winter of 1947-48.

There are a couple of picnic tables and this double sided bench that tells of the Cedarvale Ranch on one side and has a map of the ranch on the other side.

It's neat place to visit if your into old towns and ranches like we are.

Well that's it for this post, so until next time.......

 

Take Care Everyone

Hugs, Sandy
