We left Hungry Horse, Montana (outside of West Glacier NP) the other day and decided to go the back roads south to Helena, Montana. Little did we know that we would come across vintage western United States beauty. You can see why they call Montana "Big Sky Country".
 |
| Heading east through the Glacier NP and the Rocky Mountains. |
 |
| Here's our route. You can see the Rocky Mountain range running south to north. |
 |
| It is so difficult to photograph a bird flying above but Kim got this Bald Eagle just right. |
Now...onto the Montana vistas....
 |
| Road, roads, roads |
 |
| See the cloudburst in the horizon? |
 |
| And...more roads |
 |
| We only drove 55 mph to enjoy the vistas |
 |
| Love how the clouds parallel the mountain range in front. |
 |
| The roads and scenery was like this for 75 miles...never got tired of it. |
 |
| A gathering of the horses. We saw lots of them along the way. Wonderful animals. |
...and, of course, our obligatory Katie photo...
 |
| ...still trying out combinations for Katie on the kayak. |
Short one this time...sure is hard to pick only a few photos...there are so many. Plus, the photos can only convey so much. You really have to be there to fully appreciate the beauty.
