Spanish Creek Sunday


Last Sunday started with a brunch to beat all brunches. Over at the Gourmet Gas Station, between Four Courners and Gallatin Gateway, MT...they're putting out an insane amount of food for Sunday brunch buffet. I'm talkin' prime rib, baby-back ribs, an omelette bar, juevos rancheros, chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, muffins, fruit, pastries, pancakes, French Toast. I couldn't resist having ribs with eggs Benny...why not?

Unlike many brunch buffets, this one surprisingly had very good food. Everything I tasted was top-knotch, and I'll be back...no questions.

After fueling up...it was definitely time for a hike. A long hike. We headed up to Spanish Creek, accessible through several miles of Turner Enterprises' vast ranch. The bison were out and about that day cruising along the road, which was pretty cool to see.


We hiked up to Pioneer Falls, about 3.5 miles back. It's a great hike, pretty mellow, not much elevation gain...but gorgeous views of the Spanish Peaks. Pioneer Falls was worth the hike up...about a 40 footer. For me, it doesn't get much better than Montana in September.
