Rt 2 through Montana

ihe Northern Idaho panhandle is only about 50 miles wide so shortly after leaving Bonners Ferry we found ourselves in Montana where we would be for the rest of the day, and tomorrow as well. The first part of our drive followed the Kootenai River. We stopped at the falls and hiked in. It’s a fairly short hike but a truly spectacular falls. This is only a small segment of the whole.

After crossing the continental divide we stopped briefly at Loon Lake.

Day-3-072W

This is the middle fork of the Flathead River

Day-3-132W

Once out of the mountains we were on the plains. When you’re on the plains most of the small towns have an old grain elevator. It’s difficult for me to drive past an old grain elevator without stopping and taking a photo or three. This one is in Cut Bank.

Day-3-149W

Tonight marks the far point of our little mini trip. Tomorrow we’ll be starting toward home again.
