We flew into Missoula and visited the University of Montana.
I had gotten my master's degree here in 1965.
Called "Old Main," the primary administration building on campus.
This was the Physical Education building in which I had an office and coached the wrestling team.
Old barns as we drove the backroads of western Montana.
We found the Garnet Ghost Town tucked back in the mountains about an hour from Missoula.
At the turn of the 20th century this was an active gold mining community.
Main street.
Remember this type of lawn mower.
Nicely preserved log building on Main street.
The main store.
Some old citizens of Garnet.
A 3-holer! Do you think all seats were occupied at the same time?
It was a big step out of the second floor door!
Can you imagine life here 120 years ago?
The Bitterroot River meandering through the valley.
The sound of the "babbling brook"is anesthetizing.
On an early morning walk with the fog beginning to burn off.
A spider's construction alongside a stream.
A ranch tucked in an idyllic spot.
We hiked a beautiful trail in the Bitterroot Valley.
The views at the top were spectacular.
Timeout for a well-earned rest.
This chipmunk joined us for our picnic after descending from the mountain.
We went leaf peeping at the Daly House in Hamilton, Montana.
The driveway toward the Daly House.
The trees were beautiful.
An explosion of color.
The mountains south of Hamilton.
Our first stop in Glacier was along McDonald Creek where we watched our shadowss from the bridge.
Hiking the trail along the McDonald Creek.
Listening to the sound of the fast flowing water making its way to Lake McDonald.
You can't help but be inspired by nature when walking in such a setting.
More of McDonald Creek.
From Logan Pass, the top of the Continental Divide, via the Going-to-the-Sun highway, we watched a new day be born.
