One of the most interesting trips that
can be made from Lewistown is a ride
to the Judith mountains and a visit 10
the ice cave, which is located short
distance from the Gilt Edge road. The
pleasant ride to the foot of the noun.
tains is one of the features of the trip,
and when the canyon is entered which
leads TO directly below the cave a scene
of mountain grandeur is met with
which would convince the veriest cynic
that life is well worth living. For a
mile and half the traveller penetrates
the mountains. Then the horses are
tied, and after short, sharp climb the
cave is reached. There thousands OF
tons, which have been forming for ages,
lie in disuse, and on hot summer day
the difference in temperature between
the inside of the cave and the atmos.
phere on the outside is very great, the
temperature in the cave being in the
neighborhood Of freezing all the time
From different points Of vantage in the
vicinity of the cave fine view of the
surrounding country can be obtained
and Ruby gulch and the many other
points of interest can be seen TO ad
