Milwaukee Railroad is an easy and scenic trail in the Deerlodge National Forest near Butte, Montana. The trail starts at the lower eagle's nest parking lot.
The trail is rocky, and the elevation gain is minimal. It's short and sweet, and the views of the rock outcrops and engineering marvels are amazing.
You'll walk through dark tunnels, across a tall bridge, and learn a little history from the informative signs along the way. Because the tunnels are long and can be dark, we recommend bringing a flashlight.
Milwaukee Railroad is a fantastic hike and lots of fun for the entire family.
