Coming off an extraordinary Spring tour, Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller is looking forward to his summer tour with Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives. Calling it “An Amazing Evening of Original American Music – Classic Rock Meets Classic Country,” the tour is certain to be one of the premiere traveling concerts of summer 2019.

 

“I know it is going to be one of the best musical pairings we’ve ever done and an amazing evening of great American music,” says Miller. “For those Steve Miller Band fans who don’t know Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives — Marty Stuart, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson & Chris Scruggs — together they are one of the best singing and playing bands EVER and not to be missed. Marty is one of the finest musicians in the world — an amazing singer, song writer and country music scholar and it’s an honor to have him join us this summer for an unbelievable evening of original American music.”

 

Says Stuart, “Steve Miller is a treasure and a true world-class musical citizen.  I so respect him as a singer, a songwriter, guitar slinger, historian, art connoisseur, bandleader and friend.  It’s an honor for the Superlatives and I to run the roads of the nation and share the stage with the Steve Miller Band this summer.  I predict some amazing musical moments out there on the horizon.”

Keep it tuned to your buddy Jack FM 105.9 for ticket giveaways to the exciting summer concert season ahead!

 McCabe Creek Trail

A beautiful, shady stroll above McCabe Creek, a little visited area in the southern foothills of the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

McCabe Creek makes for a fantastic hike three seasons of the year.  In the spring, woodland wildflowers create colorful patches on the forest floor.  In the summer, the largely shaded trail and streamside stops are a cool option on a hot day.  In the fall, colorful foliage from aspen and low bushes again create a colorful mosaic.  And, best of all, it’s unlikely that you’ll see many people along the way.

The trail begins behind four large boulders at the edge of the trailhead.  The first 100 feet is wide along an old roadbed, then signed Trail #1104 becomes narrower as it ducks into the woods above McCabe Creek.  Pass through a delightful mix of Doug fir, larch, and even aspen, then enjoy views down into McCabe Creek from occasional scree fields and meadows.  The trail is well above the creek for the first 1.4 miles, at which point it approaches the stream near open cliffs.  This is a great destination for a shorter hike, or continue to your hearts’ content with more access to the stream.

GETTING HERE

From Highway 200, turn north onto Monture Creek Road (right across the highway from the turnoff to Ovando) and drive 4.4 miles on well-graded Monture Creek Road.  Turn right onto Forest Road 5401 and drive 2.5 miles.  Arrive at the signed McCabe Creek Trailhead Parking, which is on the south side of the road and is wide enough to accommodate trailers. 

Or, for passenger cars, save yourself .2 miles of walking:  just past this parking area turn left onto Forest Road 17536 and drive 0.1 miles to the trailhead on the right.  There is space for 3-4 cars in front of four large boulders marking the beginning of the trail.  The sign marking the trail is 100 feet down the trail past the boulders.

PLACES TO CAMP:

Take your pick of the many fantastic camp sites along the Blackfoot River. Here are a couple of ideas close by the trail head:
  • Monture Creek – Lower: Lovely scenery along the meandering Monture Creek, just before it empties into the Big Blackfoot, with large secluded camping spots. This is near where Meriwether Lewis camped with his group on his return trip without Clark on July 6th, 1805. Take Highway 200 west approximately 5 miles to Monture Creek fishing access. There are parking spots and camping right off the highway, or follow the road back for more seclusion, and better fishing.
  • Monture Creek – Upper: Beautiful timbered scenery amongst old growth forest near the boundary of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. From the west Ovando exit, cross Highway 200 right onto Monture Creek Road. Continue up for about 15 minutes. The bridge will cross over the Creek and parking and camping are available.

Check out the charm of Trixies in Ovando. Great spot to belly up to the bar and order a steak:
