52 hike challenge #20

I have a mother's day tradition of going for a hike and having a turkey sandwich. We missed this last year because I bought my new (used) Forester that weekend, so I was eager to get back to the tradition this year! 

I didn't want to go far because of the coronavirus, so we just went to a VERY small state park a few miles away from us. There's a formal trail for about .5 miles, but it ends when the incline gets steep. We've done that first section a handful of times, but yesterday we decided to see where the little unofficial trail leads. After huffing and puffing up the hill/mountain, we were rewarded with some beautiful views of the Missouri River and the Big Belt mountains!

I may not have gotten my turkey sandwich yesterday, but I did enjoy my time with my family!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!
