I've seen these in countless movies...  They surely are gorgeous and your picture does them justice!

John Ford/John Wayne films.

There's even a John Wayne shack nearby.

Butte where did you sleep? Did you shack up in the John Wayne shack?

Butte where else … in a room at Gouldings with a window looking out into the Valley … facing east to the sunrises … I'll be posting some.

The shack is at the Goulding's Hotel near the park and may be a prop from one of the films.

That's portrayed in Anne Hillerman's new book "Rock With Wings".  Even tells the story of how "Stagecoach" was filmed there.

Yes! He said, "Mittens are people, my friend."
