Springdale

The majestic Crazy Mountains.
The majestic Crazy Mountains can be seen in the distance.
This was a railroad station and a stopping place for travelers on their way to Hunter’s Hot Springs. It took its name from the many springs that surround the area. The only thing left of Hunter’s today is a fire hydrant sitting mysteriously in a field. This is near the spot where Capt. Lewis and his group lost their horses to Indian raiders. They were forced to travel down the Yellowstone in bull boats.

"I proceeded up this plain and Crossed the main Chanel of the river. and nooned it the river is divided and on all the small Streams inoumerable quanitities of beaver dams, tho’ the river is yet navigable for Canoes."
