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.
