Norris sits at the crossroads of US 287 and MT 84, and is home to the Norris Hot Springs, a gas station, A greenhouse builder, a small post office and the Norris Bar. While I’ve been to the Hot Springs a number of times, this was my first trip to the Bar. I hit it at two, just as the Snorrin Horse Grill was opening. What a bar! What a burger! Beautifully ripe tomatoes and homemade pickles on a perfectly grilled, juicy patty on a sub roll with hand cut fries. And for dessert- a miniature homemade apple rhubarb pie with whipped cream.

Norris was once a small mining town and terminal of a branchline of the Northern Pacific. Some original buildings still stand
