Thanks for that.  We went through Butte this summer, but missed it.
Time for a return trip.

Kind of hard to miss :) If you do return try to have your trip coincide
with either the Montana Folk Festival or An Ri Ra, the Irish festival. The
former is good exercise since the venues are distributed up and down the
hill.

I've never done the tour. I did hike toward the site on the Continental
Divide trail from Homestake Pass but realized there was a closer
trailhead. The politically correct explanation is it's a woman in pioneer
dress in honor of the early settlers and not the BVM. Yeah, right.
