Where is this place? I've never heard of it.
 
Is it up around Vipond Park or near Cherry lakes, I have stumbled across several old mines there and hunted Beal MTN and Storm Peak a lot, how close is it to those areas, Larry
 
Larry: Lion City/Trapper City are in that same general area near Vipond Park. Nice area west of Melrose and South of Dewey. With the weather this year, I doubt its accessible yet, but haven't been down there this spring so not certain. Usually best access not until July.
 
I generall make a trip to the area north of cooke city on the 4th of July and it's warm but there a lot of drifts but this year may have to wait till the end of July. It's nuts, Larry

snow level around Helena is down low today.
did you see they were calling for 10-15" above 5,000 feet White Sulfer Springs thru Lewistown.
Called mom and dad and they were supposed to have 90 today in NJ.
 
I made it a little over 3/4 of the way back to Lion/Trapper City. Had to stop and park and then hike a bit back in but the snow got too deep to traverse without snow shoes or ski's.

were you by yourself? 1 rig, 1 body? just wondering
it does look like it'll be quite awhile until it's opened up.
 
The snow around here is crazy. It will be late summer and we can really get anywhere deep in the mountains. It might be fun to pull together a quick day run up to this spot and explore a bit. I've never been back there. Looks cool!
