Easy Sluice Boxes stroll

The Sluice Boxes State Park in the Little Belts Mountains is always a good choice.
It's extremely scenic, an emerald creek rushing through a tight, high, limestone canyon.
It has historical significance because a narrow gauge railroad used to hang from the canyon's cliffs serving mining communities like the now-ghost town of Albright.
The rail bed is now the trail.  Hikers dodge rail ties and trestle and pass through an old tunnel when the 8 mile point to point hike is open.
It's not now as one of the trestles is too unsafe to cross and is closed at about the 2.5 mile mark if traveling south from the Riceville trailhead.
It is early spring but I counted 31 different blooming wildflowers just a day after I had a great ski just up the road at the Showdown Ski Area.
Ah, this is such a great place to live.
