Actually not on the Rocky Mountain Front, this picture was taken on Little Saint Joseph Peak in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area. I decided to stay up there for sunset - well worth it.

Some very interesting rocks I found on the way up Big Baldy. Probably caused by glaciers, but I'm not for sure.

On my way to Yogo Peak with my Dad, we were driving along and all of a sudden ran into this cattle drive. It was pretty awesome. I'm somewhat fond of the smell of cow dung as well.

Another picture of the Belt River in the Sleuce Boxes National Park in Montana. About two-thirds up the river is an old concrete support for a railroad that used to go through the canyon.

I loved this tree. It fell down after the fire who knows how long ago, but mysteriously a few spots of color remained in the roots. This was taken on the way up to Big Baldy.

Not really a nature shot, but the hinge of the door to the porch at my Dad's place just caught me. So I took a picture of it. Take it as you will.
