Divide Mountain Summit 8,665'

Saint Mary Valley

St. Mary doesn't have a ton of trails zigzagging through out it.  The lake pretty much is the Valley, and than steep mountains upthrust from it's depths till they disapear into the prairies.  The valley is extraordinary though.  The view form the prairies is inspiring.  It's definitely a place to stop and smell the flowers.  St Mary is the first place encountered after crossing to the east side of the divide.
