King's Hill

King's Hill between White Sulphur Springs and Belt River Country in the northern foothills below seems easy if you look at a map.  But "on the ground" it's a whole different ball game.  It's really hard to imagine how that road "made sense" in the 1920's and pushed vehicles up and over in the 1930's.

We drove today's modern, way-too-high-speed-highway today (10MAY18) and were dazzled by the glimpses we saw of the Old Highway.  Highway engineers back then must have had a Wild & Crazy Imagination to see how they could get a road up and over King's Hill.  And motorists back then must have had a whole heck of a lot of trust in Montana Highway Engineers to get them up and over such an obstacle.  Truly amazing.
