MONTANA is... the
coldest cold
(-70 degreesF) yet spots can reach 117 degrees!
Montana Map
Great Falls, discovered by Lewis & Clark, had 5 Great Falls that stopped their navigation of the Missouri River. All have been turned into Dams, yet vestiges of fast flowing water can still be seen. The 5 Great Falls are Black Eagle Dam (which still has smattering of the original Falls), Morony Dam (some sulphur springs near by), Ryan Dam, Rainbow Dam and the highpoint of Heritage Park, Giant Springs.
This gallery is filled with unique sights
that are in every corner of Montana! A modern-day
wind farm perches on a hilltop, surrounded
by stripes of crops planted in strip farm fields. The older hydroelectric
power lines curve around the road, showing the past and the future in
one scene.
The Rockies tower above Canyon
Ferry Lake as Antelope dance toward their watering
hole.
The train put Montana on the
Map! The Great Northern Railroad dared the northernmost transcontinental
railroad route...opening much undeveloped territory. The Great Northern
was the inspiration to rail lines that followed.
Traveling to the original
entrance of Yellowstone NP in Southern Montana you pass the
Gallatin Hills on the
Yellowstone River.
Go far, far north and you'll find large expanses of
wheat fields. South of Missoula is
Lolo Peak and colorful ranches.
